Smalltalk tends to be used in-house by large corporations 
rather than for commerial shrink-wrap type apps. I know 
of several banks and finance companies who use it and at 
least one airline used to in the early 90's...

Take a look at comp.lang.smalltalk and check out the 
domain names of the posters asking the hard questions :-)
