Its not the Romanian flag (order of color is different).

On the original smalltalk balloon the red, yellow and blue are in the same order as the Romanian (and Chadian) flag, so maybe the question should have been why is it not the Romanian flag?
I wanted to try Smalltalk earlier and discovered Pharo, but I found it to be just one huge antipattern as everything involved a single combined toolchain/IDE/runtime virtual machine image. Amber's documentation seems to have screenshots of the very same object inspector.
If I want to build a wooden chair, I don't want to start by learning to use a steel metal punch to create a panel saw first...

What exactly is the anti-pattern? Just that it is image based? There is Iceberg for exporting to git afaik. Haven't used it in depth though.

That’s the core of the smalltalk-80 design: that everything in the environment is an object you can send messages to, and the OS “doesn’t exist”
