GNUstep already does better in some areas. There is no Carbon burden,  
instead there is cross platform compatibility, to point out two  
examples.

Obviously, there are visionaires in the Etoilé group: <http://

Are you sure? I've yet to see a GNUstepper wanting to include Mac OS  
X features like wxWindows or Carbon into the framework collection.  
Instead, I sometimes see something like "Cocoa rules".
