Because you can't get SmallTalk (if you ever considered UNIX to be a resource
hog, have a look at SmallTalk some time), and the Mac user interface is
running on a horrid CP/M-like operating system. UNIX is an excellent base
to build all sorts of special-purpose systems: it's small & fast, expert
friendly (remember, someone has to write the user friendly interface), and
widely available.
