I just had a realization: I've been hearing and reading about Smalltalk and how great (though slow) it was for the past 30 years … but I've never once seen an application, let alone a killer one.

Well, except for development environments.

Anyone know one that's worth looking at?

Cognitone Synfire is made with Smalltalk, I think: https://www.cognitone.com/products/mps/intro/page.stml . But it's not at all easy to install and use.

Mostly boring proprietary business applications.

One example of a very widely used desktop application written in Smalltalk was the first version of Scratch.
