Come on, have you ever programmed in a statically-typed language?  
Seriously?
What you say sounds just like a Basic programmer whom I tried to convince  
he should try (just TRY!) Pascal. He said he had seen it at the  
University, and Pascal sucked...

Which?

I could state that Smalltalk has a useful niche (that doesn't encompass  
all of programming), but I don't want throw mud back.

Why? Because static typing is bad, or because it was done badly, or just  
because the Smalltalk *environment* isn't designed with static typing in  
mind, or because the Smalltalk installations didn't want to convert  
because they would have had to retrain their developers? (The latter is  
one of the main reasons why Cobol and its ugly relatives haven't died out  
yet. Technical merit is just one factor among many that decide wether a  
language lives or dies.)

No you can't. This is just rhetorics what you're doing.

I have heard several indicators that Smalltalk is very good at getting  
stuff done, in the quickest possible time. I'm willing to believe this  
(sounds reasonable anyway), but nobody talks about the disadvantages in  
the approach. Those who know Smalltalk program in it, so they won't tell  
me - and I can't believe there are none.
I don't want to be converted to Smalltalk. I want to know about advantages  
and disadvantages, so that I can decide which language is better for a  
given task.

Maybe because they are manager? Not all decisions, even in large  
companies, are based on rational arguments. There is trust in consultants  
involved, who aren't always impartial. There is also much internal  
backstabbing involved - sometimes managers influence other managers into  
bad decisions, to weaken their internal position.

Not that I'm convinced this is the case with the companies that you listed  
as examples. It's just that such success stories don't prove a thing. It  
would be much more interesting to hear about the consequences of these  
decisions, not about the decisions themselves.

Maybe because two companies happened to decide for Smalltalk, which makes  
a huge difference if the installed base is small.
I'm sure any proponent for any other language can make up similarly  
impressing figures.
That 60% figure is worthless - you don't say wether it's number of  
companies, number of developer seats, number of productive systems, or  
lines of code. You don't even say since when this growth started - it  
might be 1 1/2 year as well as twenty years.

I already knew this. I consider this an interesting property of Smalltalk,  
but I'm not convinced Smalltalk is best for everything. And as far as I  
know, Smalltalk can't be integrated into a multi-language environment (at  
least not with a considerable amount of work, or with serious efficiency  
problems), so I'm somewhat hesitant to recommend Smalltalk at all.
