GNUstep is still running after Cocoa and still introduce new bugs etc ...
This is pure waste of times / effort.
Who use GNUstep/Etoile/Backbone on the desktop in every day usage ? 5
developpers ?
The most usable application based on GNUstep is GNUMail.
Who post ( even on the GNUstep mailing list ) with GNUMail ?
Why can we/you simply stay at OpenStep with few improvements :
Exemple: Theming, autolayout, remove Archiver by KeyedArchiver, extend
services (?)
That would be enough for 90% of the applications.
There is so much thing to do !!!!
- Lot of bugs
- Printing from cairo
- Page Layout panel
- Usable Text system
- better usability for controls
- builtin window Manager (?)
- Fully feature Workspace.
..
This would take 1 or 2 years, even with 10 developpers !
For -gui :
Why would you Cocoa compatibility ( porting a "real" Cocoa app is
impossible with real work ) ?
Why would you Win32 compatibility ? ( there is tons of framework that
works better on Win32 )
Adding more code is bad for GNUstep/Etoile ressources ( number of
developpers ). It is getting worse.
Having Etoile and GNUstep separate is already bad IMO.
Please read again your signature.
That just what I'm talking about :))
