I think you have given both the question and the answer. Many Mac
developers would jump on GNUStep if it could help them port to
Windows. That makes sense: a porting effort to a platform you don't
use is interesting only if you're going to benefit from it -- that is,
port a commercial or shareware product.
Even services (consulting e. g.) can be interesting.
Mind you, the interest in porting to Linux is certainly very limited.
I won't open a debate about market share, respective platform
qualities, etc. but if you're making a commercial product for Mac OS
X, your primary porting target is Windows.
That's exactly what I think.
So it's somewhat a "chicken and egg" problem. There definitely exists
a large number of *potential* GNUStep adopters, but the prerequisite
is that porting to Windows is possible and viable. Once porting is
possible, you'll probably see a large number of apps compiling with
GNUStep, and this will also increase the number of apps that become
available for other targets (ie GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, etc)
That's exactly, what I want to say.
