Well said. The taste of everybody else is formed by the rest of the

from this for bringing in improvements exists, but is quite small.
Well, on the other side, I want to offer soemthing alternative to
Unity which
is complete and has its own interface style
Sure, that's possible. But only as a full desktop, be it
GNUstep-Ubuntu or based on another widespread distribution. Then it's
not a competition GNUMail <-> Thunderbird (which I'd give good
chances), but a competition standard Ubuntu <-> GNUstep desktop (which
is trickier).
Integrating GNUstep apps well into other desktops makes people getting
used to the apps (the parts aside from icon handling and menus), so it
even raises the chances of the full desktop.
