This is what I would like in that Smalltalk:

• A file based environment since this is what people are used to.
• A transcript / console you can run interactively from the command line / shell (like Lisp, Ruby and Python etc).
• A Web Development framework based heavily on Rails, since this is a leading framework and one that a lot of people are interested in. Sorry Seaside as you are great but sadly not great enough.
• An ORM framework like ActiveRecord. (EDIT: Apparently this is already available.)
• IDE support for Eclipse, IntelliJ and TextMate.

GNU Smalltalk is file based (it has an image but that can be recreated from scratch if wanted) and it has Seaside. Seaside is great I think, because it constantly wins web programming shoot-outs (in terms of code size, readability and coding time). It doesn’t have a „click-and-deploy“ interface for web-apps, but I am confident that there will be one on day. GNU Smalltalk also has a decent command line interface (with readline support).

No Eclipse support for Smalltalk yet. But that’s funny, because IIRC: Eclipse is modelled after Visual Age for Java. Which is a Smalltalk program, adapted to Java, coming from… Visual Age for Smalltalk.
