Squeak gave me the greatest pleasure I had while programming. I was not a fan of IDEs till then, preferring vi at that point, with ctags.
Sadly it is one of the places where computer science has gone backward, preferring more clunky systems and less elegant paradigms. Except when it comes to the higher reaches of the meta object hierarchy, Smalltalk itself is a great pleasure - Squeak was the icing on the cake for me.
