framework by todays standards, but I really doubt that a GNUstep application will have 83% less lines of code compared to, say, one written in Qt or with .Net or Scala with Scala/JFC class libraries. Actually GNUstep is missing lots of things that e.g. Qt offers, therefore you will probably write more code for complex application.
I don't think so.
