Machines are million+ times faster now, but the way we program is still the same as in the 80's: edit-compile-run-crash. Well, I guess, most of us have to. Some languages have inherited the better parts of those languages, like late binding, garbage collection, VMs, reflection, unit tests and metaclasses etc. (which is good and appreciated), but none has implemented the "integrated" in IDE as consequently as Smalltalk.
 
Not much progress made on the software side, if I think what we did 35+ years ago on those wonderful CADR Machines or the Alto Machines, running Lisp or Smalltalk on bare metal in a kernel written in those languages, and everything was visible right down to a keyboard interrupt...
