Nicolas,
I recoginze that this disscussion comes up every few years/months and
it usually alienates a lot of developers and users. Perhaps it would
be less confusing if gnustep.org didn't have an applications section
and if there was not a gnustep applications mailiing list since there
are not supposed to be any applications. But that kind of brings me
back to the question of what are you supposed to do with a development
environment that is not supposed to develop any applicaions?
I see your point about QT and there are QT apps out there but KDE very
quickly took up the title of Desktop Enviroment based on QT. GAP is
just a few applications at the moment, they are doing good things but
I don't get the impression they are building a desktop. Backbone has
been dead for many years. There are many good applications out there
built on the GNUstep libraries, it is confusing if you say I should
not call those GNUstep applications. So I guess what we need is a
name for everything GNUstep is not, LastStep, OtherStep, I don't know,
should be something catchy and still pay tribute to NeXTstep roots.
Sorry I bothered you, I was just trying to drum up some interest in
GNUstep (or whatever I am supposed to call it), guess that is not what
you want. I'll stick to the apps-gnustep mailing list in the future
but of course there aren't supposed to be any apps so I'm sure you can
ban me from there if you wish.
