Some of the reasons: - GNUstep puts much emphasis on manual installation. - It isn't really packageable, because GNUstep insists on a framework/bundle centric installation, while about all non-Mac-OS-X unices insist on a FHS-type file layout. - Attempts to improve the latter regularly result in bitter fights and long flame wars. - Quite a number of smaller issues with the build system add on top of the latter two. - The possibility to install GNUstep apps without changing the entire desktop is almost ignored, which results in close to zero users.
