This is all very inconvenient. But it is just the way things are
in the *ix world. There's too many different approaches, each of
which comes along with some nice goodies we want to have, but
the result is a bloated system with lots of different libraries,
frameworks, etc installed and things looking very inconsistent.

I really wish I had enough up-to-date and usable GNUstep-based
apps to do my daily work. Unfurtunately the project seems to be
dying. There's only very few new applications, old applications
are no longer maintained etc.

The Etoile project, too, progresses very slowly (apart from the
fact that there's only very few people who can build the current
trunk code, I gave up a few months ago, too little time and too
little what I got for it).

Yep, this is open source, if nobody invests any time nothing's
going to happen. But people don't remain students for all their
lives and once you've entered industry and code for a living you
don't really want to spend all your spare time coding...

Cheers,

M'bert
