I'm not sure I understand the rationale here.
- The behaviour is useful
- Developers expect it
- Apple doesn't do it
Apparently the third of these trumps the first two. I disagree with that
decision, and so does a lot of code in GNUstep. It should be easy to port code
from Cocoa to GNUstep, but I don't think there is any reason why we should not
provide a superset of the functionality that Apple implements. Doing so seems
to be entirely in keeping with the goal of GNUstep as I understand it: to
provide a great Free Software development environment that (also) makes it easy
to move Cocoa applications to other platforms.
If GNUstep is nicer to work with than Cocoa, then I think that's a feature, not
a bug!
yes, as long as we don't implement something which is incompatible with
Cocoa... I think it is worth to be a superset (= better). I didn't
follow closely the case here so I don't know if it applies.
