I have just started exploring Strongtalk again and I find the type
checking features of Strongtalk really helpful;  the type checker
alerts you to silly mistakes when you accept a change.
Also the user interface for browsing around the system is really very
good and easy to understand. There is always a danger with graphical
interfaces that they will  force you to enter text into tiny little
boxes and prevent you from seeing the bigger picture.
I think the outliner view avoids that trap while still lending useful
structure to things.

The version on the main site (the 2.0 release) has been quite
unreliable (unusably so for me.)
It might be worth replacing it now, with a link to the current version
which seems much better.
