What was this vacuum? - Deployment? Lack of IDEs? Libraries with useful methods in them? I'd be very much interested in your reply.

My basic point is that the real barriers to widespread adoption of Smalltalk have always been and still are within the Smalltalk community. I think there are two key lessons. Most importantly, is the need to create solutions a lot of people can use. This requires that people care about the problems being solved, can afford the solution and understand how to use it. The second lesson is that the price of not cooperating amongst ourselves is high. If we don't work together to solve problems people care about and can use others will do so often using ideas/practices from the world of Smalltalk.
