Would anyone care to comment on the advantages/disadvantages of
using Smalltalk PM for large projects with complex user interface
requirements?  Specifically:
 
     - learning curve for non-Smalltalk, non-OOP programmers
     - memory overhead of Smalltalk PM.
     - execution speed of Smalltalk PM.
     - interface to C and accessibility of standard PM calls.
     - support by Digitalk.
     - debugging aids.
     - availability of experienced Smalltalk programmers.
 
Thanks very much.
