I think we've got a lot to learn from Smalltalk environments. Especially when it comes to dealing with graphical user interfaces, although Smalltalk environments have many flaws from my perspective as well. Adding persistance to objects and a mostly nice interface to inspect and modify these objects at runtime is also very nice, although I imagine it's relatively easy to put your machine into a state where something odd is happening and you don't quite no why.
