An example would be very helpful, of one of the ways LispWorks sucks, and/or
one of the ways Functional beats it.

Does Functional Objects have a lot of good programmers working full time on
Functional Developer?  Or is it more a matter of having inherited it from
Harlequin and having a few programmers continue to maintain it?

To get started with it, is the free version enough, or is it better to spend
the money to get the various extras?
