I'll second Gilad's thoughts.
I am familiar with VisualWorks and VA, as well as no longer existent dialects like Digitalk's. However, the several times I have tried to "get into Squeak", I've landed in a UI that doesn't work like those I am familiar with, so it seems much more difficult to learn "the Squeak way". The only tutorial was about basic Smalltalk syntax and offered no guidance for Squeak. Perhaps there are some "getting started with Squeak" guides, but Squeak itself doesn't lead you to them.
