* They sometimes can get lazy and don't do things "properly" (e.g.
their Distributed Objects implementation works differently to
Apple's, for better or worse)
There are technical reasons for this that are beyond the scope of
this e-mail, and beyond the scope of my ability to clearly explain.
Someone over in email@hidden would be happy to explain it
to you if you really do care.
I think "properly" in quotes is used to express that Apple's way might
be seen as properly to many people as that is the
both the host and topic of this mailing list - Apple's implementation.
Exactly. "Properly" to the GnuStep people is obviously different.
Neither side is right or wrong on the face of it, but the important
point relevant to the original poster was that there are
incompatibilities, and they are both known and on purpose. They won't
be fixed any time soon - the GnuStep DO code says this explicitly.
I wouldn't call GNUStep developers lazy at all and I think its a
low-blow of sorts to do so. That I would call FUD but you
sure didn't :)
I wouldn't normally have described them as such, but I've just finished
reading the Art of Unix and thought I'd try calling some developers
"lazy" to see what their reaction was. Personally, I thought the only
meaningful snippet in that whole book was that a good developer is a
lazy one, if it's the right sort of lazy. :)
