I am in the market for a smalltalk windows development environment to
implement small business designs.  I have received information from what I
take to be the major vendors. 

Being a small, one-man operation (so far :) ) the one that seems most
suited to my needs is Enfin from VMARK/EASEL, I also like their idea of
tying in business object level analysis and design with Syncronicity.  

My problem is that I notice that most of the 'trades' refer to the
VisualWhatever big three -- ads say "our product suports Digitalk, IBM and
ParcPlace".  Has anyone done a study of which smalltalk to buy?  Do you
you know the market share of each vendor and their growth trands? 
How well do their partners programs work?

Thanks,
