Am I on the wrong list? :) No, you're not, but I'm sorry to say (and don't take this as an offense) that your answer really adds to what Enrico said. This is, or so I plan, the only mail that I will send regarding this issue, but I must confess that I saw this coming for a while now, as some people that were in #gnustep in the last days will surely remember. I'm glad that you're so excited about �toile (portuguese keyboards allow the correct spelling :) ). I'm also excited about it. The people involved are great developers. This, however, is only indirectly related to GWorkspace. It is certainly frustrating as hell to develop an application for years, receiving little comments on it and then be presented with some kind of planned "paradigm shift" and be constantly bombarded not by wishlist items, criticism or bug reports, but with permanent talk about a "good alternative". I'm not even discussing the techinal merits of this approach. Some will no doubt find, and with good reason, that it all should boil down to that. The general feeling that transpires in the recent (and not so recent) email to the list is however hard to suffer for the one that develops and maintain GWorkspace.
