How of easy is to implement binds in a language like Objective-C? It's really hard don't fall in a project like GNOME or KDE, all people I know works in one of this projects. GNUstep look like the Hurd, too many years in the shadow. KDE and GNOME took the comunity attention early and have a lot of publicity. Nobody is interesting in GNUstep. This is good and bad, I feel more free in GNUstep, people explain me concepts and is really nice. But allways appear the phantom of GNOME and KDE, with their architectures. I'm a computer engineer student ( in a year I'll be computer engineer) and I see how all the world want's more and more complicated system to be more "productive" -> they develop more software in the same time. If ALL GNU people speak of horizontal development instead vertical development, why there is really LARGE and vertical projects like Linux kernel, KDE or GNOME?... What is the philosophy of GNUstep about that? I like GNUstep, I see it like a very well design. It's interesting, like objective-c, but noone use it. If big enterprise like SUN or even MS are interesting in projects like GNOME is because this projects are near SUN and MS architectures, but I don't see APPLE helping GNUstep when it could be good for APPLE, GNUstep programmer could be future COCOA programmers. Why I don't see APPLE helping to GNUstep?
