Squeak, still the most flexible Smalltalk environment (and more)
Squeak is free, open source, and as a very large development community using it for projects like MIT's Scratch, software for kids, OpenCroquet, etcetera. The diversity makes sure that Squeak keeps being improved, and the Smalltalk underneath makes sure that you'll never be as efficient as in Squeak.
Wikipedia entry on Squeak
The Squeak programming language is a Smalltalk implementation, derived directly from Smalltalk-80 by a group at Apple Computer that included some of the original Smalltalk-80 developers. Its development was continued by the same group at Walt Disney Imagineering, where it was intended for use in internal Disney projects. Some Squeak users refer to Squeak as a programming language rather than as a Smalltalk implementation. It is object-oriented, class-based, and reflective. Squeak is available for many platforms, and programs produced on one platform run bit-identical on all other platforms. The Squeak system includes code for generating a new version of the virtual machine (VM) on which it runs. It also includes a VM simulator written in itself (Squeak). For this reason, it is easily ported.
