I'm familiar with GnuStep, but I don't find it a workable solution on
Win32 because of it's dependancies on Cygwin and Ming/W. In addition,
at this point Gorm and Project Center aren't up to enterprise
development levels.
All of this is compounded by the fact that it takes a Unix person to
install and use the environment on any of the supported platforms.
That means that the run-time is beyond the scope of most Mac or Windows
users. Until these problems are solved, GnuStep is not a viable
solution.
Not to be offensive, but I'm getting tired about hearing about GnuStep,
as it's been around for at least 6 years, and still isn't up to a 1.0
status, I'm not getting my hopes up.
