I'm interested in the viability of the Sun-3/160 running Lucid Common Lisp
(with Lucid's version of Flavors) as a Lisp development environment.
My standard for the comparison are Symbolics 36xx's, which I have a 
strong predilection toward.

I'm especially interested in opinions/remarks by experienced Symbolics
programmers who have used Sun-3's with Lucid for more than a few hours.
Some specific areas I would like to see addressed are:

	o the completeness is Lucid's Flavors
	o the quality of editing and debugging tools
	o gc
	o major wins/losses vis-a-vis Symbolics
	o rough estimate of development time vis-a-vis Symbolics

I will be glad to summarize and post if the response warrants it.
