<div>One thing that Apple insists on when defining the user experience
for a new application is to come up with a clear statement of purpose.
Not only what it is its intended user base (casual, professional, etc.),
but also what it is explicitly not intended for. What *can't* Lively
do?.</div>

<div>I've seen a couple of posts from Dan on his vision for Lively, but I
still wonder, is it an educational environment, or is it something
people can use to build commercial quality client-server applications?</div>

<div>Smalltalk evolved in rather unexpected ways I think. I don't think
I'm looking for Lively on Rails, but I am interested in applications
that appeal to mainstream development needs.</div>
