You raise a few points.

I am not sure what you mean by "people with poor human qualities". I am particularly involved in GT and less in Pharo since many years. GT is based on Pharo, but it comes with its own environment and philosophy to support a goal that is not about Smalltalk. We do encourage you to join and see our community especially if you are interested to learn a different kind of programming with us. I am yet to find people with poor human qualities there.

As for funding, we sustain GT through the work we do at feenk where we solve hard problems in organizations that depend on software systems.

And we do not claim that GT is the best. Only that it's the first to show a different possibility to how systems can be made explainable.
