Most new GNUstep code gets written using option 1.
Option 2 *should* be the way to go, but I just don't have time to
develop Gorm at
present (though I will tests/incorporate patches, fixes etc) - so it's
really
only of use for very simple UIs, without the support for custom objects
that IB
provides.
Option 3 is probably a good bet for porting OPENSTEP apps, but I'm not
sure it
works well for MacOS-X apps.
