You are right these are strange applications, I verified by doing a google search and count number of results. But I do not intend do a selection for allegation, I do it the way many users normally do, that is to browse the repository and see which one's description or name interests me. Slideshow is a very obvious name calling for attention compare to LaternaMagica, a +5 on marketing.
Sounds to me like we need a GNUstep-centric end-user oriented app browser… something like a
GNUstep Software Index, but perhaps a more graphical, desktop app with a single-click fetch-source-configure-make-makeinstall? For any platform? :-)
Nah, I'm just kidding. It would be excellent if someone were to dig into it; current distribution-specific repositories are great for other software, but GNUstep software is under-maintained. Except maybe on, from what everyone keeps saying, FreeBSD. :-)
