GNUstep allows you to write both ObjC tools and GUI Apps under Microsoft
Windows. GNUstep's Foundation is quite stable under Windows. The AppKit is
another story, however, but Fred Keifer is currently workin on fixing a
number of the issues that remain. The day will come, probably within a
year, where what YellowBox was will exist again in a different form,
written by different people, but it will effectively be the same. I
encourage *anyone* who is interested in porting ObjC GUI apps to Win32 to
help out with the GNUstep win32 backend. The more people who help out, the
faster this will be a reality.
