Agreed. Which is where GNUStep comes into the picture. The Foundation part
is quite portable for some years; I haven't tried AppKit, but somebody
written not so long ago it approaches maturity quite well.
If it is so indeed -- and to make sure, I repeat I HAVEN'T checked myself!
--, anything you write in Cocoa/BSD API without polluting the code by Carbon
nonsenses is the nearest thing to full portability possible, if you want
full-featured complete API (perhaps C++/X.windows and Java/SWING are
_slightly_ better from the portability point of view, but lose so much in the
full-featured part that it more than makes for the difference).
