Some messages on lists:

Even Jonathan 'Wolf' Rentzsch seems to have heard about gsweb:

May be we didn't advertised enough GNUstep/GNUstepWeb/..., may be WO is used 
mostly used by important companies wich prefer proprietary softwares or Java 
things, may be there less open source Mac developpers, may be many Mac 
developpers don't consider projects without GUI, may be they prefer to stay in 
Apple World...
