In nearly every application domain, you can compare the Smalltalk way and the Other, and in nearly all the Smalltalk is better, but that doesn't mean people will listen.

It's best to explicate your point using a 50-page tutorial on the Java Debugging API, Platform Introspection, and .NET Tracing Hooks, or whatever. Make it so hard that it's worth our time, then we will listen.

Download Pharo Smalltalk and fire it up. Download "Pharo by Example" ebook, from the same site, and open it up.

I guarantee you this: with every page you read, you will grow to resent the cruft-peddling "mainstream" computing.
