Fortunately, however, the current GNUstep codebase is able to run without X if you do happen to have a working display PostScript engine on your platform, so future work rightly requires no rewrites once the independent Display GhostScript engine is completed. Oh yes, the developer tools are indeed very good. Looking at GNUstep was what made me learn Objective-C, and while it's not the perfect object-oriented extension of C, it's certainly far more straightforward and simpler than C++ in achieving object orientation. My only beef with it is that it uses dynamic typing a little too much (it actually uses dynamic typing everywhere you have an object!). -- Rafael R.
