BUT UNFORTUNATELY, Java is far more commercially appealing to the financial
services industry. I'm in the midst of trying to port a Cocoa application
to (ugh!) Windows or the web because the financial institutions aren't
interested in it while it's not executable on a Windows-compatible platform.


So as I see it, the only way in which Java scores over objectiveC is
commercial appeal - and that only because my target market is too
narrow-minded for the Mac.


GNUstep has recently taken a giant leap forward on Windows. Maybe you should consider it for your porting activities. I know of a company (smartsoft) I am loosely related with which uses GNUstep on Windows for the deployment of their business applications on Windows.


Get in contact with Marc Brünink <email@hidden>, he was in charge for doing the port from Cocoa to GNUstep on Windows.
