Smalltalk is still technically used in a commercial setting at JPM , though mostly due to the incredibly long timeframes banks work on. I was tangentially involved with it last year via an upstream application that fed into it and don't have particularly pleasant memories of it (probably mostly due to the massive amount of cruft attached).

I'm interested whether anyone here who worked on it knows whether it was a representative program for large scale Smalltalk applications? I remember the "frames" used to crash nearly continually, and keeping one open for a few days (often necessary on complex trades) used to be a real pain.
