What is Squeak called a "practical" Smalltalk

Azka Niazi
Squeak is referred to as a practical Smalltalk. "Practical" must technically mean something. What goals of practicality has Squeak achieved versus other Smalltalks or other programming environment/languages.

Regards,
Azka

It's a philosophy more than technical application.  It means many, but
not all, decisions w.r.t development of the system are motivated by
real-world requirements.  Requirements like legacy applications able
to keep running.
