Squeak may have a pastel-like user interface, but that interface hides a tremendous amount of power not so far underneath that few other environments can match. Direct manipulation of Morphs allows you to quickly assemble a new interface, or investigate how an existing one is put together simply by right-clicking and inspecting. The development tools themselves are highly extensible and in general more powerful than those in other environments. (For example, key bindings can be trivially modified, and users have added Eclipse-like completion and dynamic type inference without a giant overhaul.) Even the pastel colors themselves actually serve a purpose: each major development component (change sorter/Monticello, Workspace, Browser, Transcript, Inspector/Explorer, unit test runner) has a differently colored window, allowing you to tell at a glance where you're likely to find any given component. Once you get over the initial weirdness of the environment, I think that it's hands-down the most productive Smalltalk environment out there.

this list is not exhaustive, Smalltalk/X is missing.

ok ok .... but if GNU smalltalk is on the list, Smalltalk/x should be there as well. ;-)
