MyStep is interesting but an implementation of uikit is needed in some

do we really want to attract them? for what purpose? Where would this
"uikit-gnustep" run? do you want to have it running on Android do port
iOS stuff? or on some free hardware? which one? Of what use would it be?
Questions that need to be answered besides just using the buzzword of
compatibility once against GNUstep.
Having a "uikit" would be comparable to having cocoa. But what is the
ultimate use for it?
GNUstep allows to develop like you do on a Mac or NeXT box, but on your
operating system of choice and on hardware of choice (most notably, x86
commodity hardware).
But for a mobile computing it looks dimmer. You might either target
Andorid or some kind of total-free implementation, that would be
essentially a different way of doing myStep, bi looking at iOS instead
of desktop as compatibility. But from the long work of Nikolaus on free
phones and tablets, we know how spotty and different the scenarios are
there.
Mobile stuff is, sadly, much more retrograde in terms of freedom than
desktops.
