Shows the good marketing efforts of ArcFM I guess. I never understood how ESRI gained any traction in the utility space. The data model was robust (many geometry properties allowed in one object!), the network actually worked, and so did versioning, and Magik seemed like a simplified javascript syntax before javascript got formal packages and requires. Similar ideas map easily, for example, versioning, geometry, rendering etc. There are a lot of analogs between all GISes, given the common underlying problems with geospatial data storage, manipulation, and representation.
In the mid 2000s I had briefly switched from Intergraph to Smallworld (version 3.something) for a data conversion gig, and it was fairly straightforward to understand, especially if you have someone give you a tour. I know this is a dead thread, but I have a little experience in Smallworld arena.
