Re: What dev tool chain would you use?

The commercial option would be

VisualWorks
Seaside
GemStone
Store
Apache

The free option would be

Squeak
Seaside
PostgreSQL or MySQL
Monticello
Apache

I like working in VW better than Squeak but that's me.

Ruby is a neat language (much borrowed from Smalltalk) but the
Smalltalk IDE (especially VisualWorks and Dolphin) are really great
IMO. Seaside is phenomenal for web apps. See http://www.seaside.st.
Store is great for source code control and is so easy within
VisualWorks. If you could use GemStone, it would be super because all
your development would be with objects, no need to deal with mapping,
and your schema could easily evolve as your requirements do.
