Is Apple making any efforts to aid the GNUStep project? This project, if kept
completely compatible could really expand support for Cocoa. This idea of
cross-platform development would entise any developer, and GNUStep is
cross-platform and Cocoa is not. Also, since GNUStep is cross-platform,
whether or not it is as stable as Cocoa, it will take the lead in use by
developers and grow and develop (eventually) separately from Cocoa soley
because it is cross-platfrom. In my oppinion, I think that Apple should take
the lead in this project and help maintain it and support it so that there is
firm compatability. This could make Cocoa a cross-platform standard much like
OpenGL. Its now or never and in the future, Cocoa won't have a chance against
a very similar cross-platform API that has veered off course.
