How can it be fragile if there are "such good recovery features"?

Just restore unsaved changes when you launch the same image again. That's robust not fragile.

The recovery features are external, and exist to solve a problem that is specific to smalltalk

You may as well claim that computers are robust because you can just buy a new one. It has nothing to do with computers

Pretty sure ST-80 doesn’t even mandate recovery features, which is pretty scary


Huh? The recovery features are built-in to Smalltalk implementations.
