I have it and am very impressed.  Perhaps more convincing though, I have
a friend who's been intimately involved with Smalltalk development
from the very beginning who was also very impressed.  It's even more
remarkable because the Digitalk folks didn't license the Smalltalk-80
virtual machine from Xerox; they developed their system from the formal
and not-so-formal specifications of Smalltalk 80 available in the public
domain.  Apparently, they can call their system "Smalltalk V" because
"Smalltalk" isn't a trademark of Xerox; only "Smalltalk-80" is.

I haven't played with their Prolog system written in Smalltalk.
