This topic deserves more discussion. Anyone else please discuss.

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?.

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?

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.

Philip: I'm creating a new thread because Steve and I didn't actually
appropriately discuss this topic in a similarly titled email. We hijacked.
