The implication that there was something bad in the interface because it was intuitive after second or third attempt strikes me as the comment of someone who doesn't want to take chances, but taking chances is the foundation of most learning.
As is often said, the only intuitive interface is the nipple; everything else is learned.
I haven't gotten the hang of Smalltalk AT ALL yet, but that's not going to keep me from reading this list, getting all the goodies and updates and following links to more information. Someday, I'm sure I'll get the hang of it, and be grateful for "hanging in there." - Regardless, I know I'm not really such an idiot either, even though I strongly feel that Squeak is very powerful, easy to use (for the rest of you, obviously) and innovative. Oh, and complaining that the English-only interface is a hindrance, well, Computerchannel.de is German-only, but I was still able to figure out what they were talking about. Nice site ("optically" anyway ;) --Flee
