I think that’s only part of the problem. The bigger part is that Linux package managers still only ship a runtime that is not on par with what most people have come to expect from an Objective-C development environment. It’s massively confusing for anybody how doesn’t already know their way around GNUstep [0]. To be totally honest, I don’t think that shipping the gcc runtime is useful anymore (it’s effectively a dead piece of code in the gcc repository anyways — nobody has done anything substantial on it since 2011), given that the GNUstep runtime can support code compiled with GCC just fine.
