With a kqueue-backed runloop, one can poll file descriptors, signals, mach ports, timers, vnodes, and audit sessions. The runloop becomes a central dispatch loop, just as it should be.
I'd suggest that GNUstep polls FDs because it has to (because there
are no Mach ports on most platforms GNUstep runs on), rather than as a
feature :)
