Cross-platform support is important, true. But how much of the C from your Window's apps can you take over to a Mac app? 75%?
There is a Squeak Smalltalk environment for just about every platform under the sun (I haven't seen one on a Palm yet, but it's probably out there) and 100% of the code you write on one platform can be taken to any other platform you choose. You don't have to port Smalltalk apps. That's *real* cross-platform support.
Development environment? The Squeak Smalltalk development environment is hands-down the best I've ever seen. Compared to any C++ environment (Visual Studio, Codewarrior, or Makefiles), Squeak is a developer's dream.
