Are there any large-scale commercial projects that use Squeak Smalltalk?

Question

I've been learning Squeak Smalltalk & have noticed that it's got a really faithful community and is used in some large academic and open-source projects, but I haven't found any examples of it being used commercially in any significant way. I'm curious about how this environment is doing in the world commercially. Maybe taking over older Smalltalk projects? Does anyone know?

http://dabbledb.com/ is in fact using Squeak on commodity hardware, and they recently moved from Seaside 2.6 to 2.8 and are looking at 2.9 as it is being released.

In general, I would agree that Squeak is not widely used commercially.

We have a scheduling app for manufacturing and warehousing called MaxScheduler.com. Its written in Squeak largely because an extensive code base was initially developed in this language. It has its issues though. It provides a 'strange' UI experience to the end user. Also it doesn't play nicely with native platforms like Windows. Recently WXSqueak was created, this really helps by providing a native UI experience.

On the plus side, Squeak has been massively beneficial for us. With our code base we have created complicated applications for customers in short time frames. Few languages give the same level of code re-use.
