My point was made, we don't need to attract old people. It waste time
and effort of people who want to contribute GNUstep to be the
development platform for the future, rather to satisfy some people's
needs for their memento of good old days. Who care NeXTperience ? Why
don't GNUstep clone NeXT instead of Cocoa now?

Don't waste your time with me. We doubt we will agree on any point.
