I don't see if backend is anything to be described a huge monster. And it should wrap the layer below the native widget layer of a platform. Doing what you've described will probably end up getting headache when you have to deal with WYSIWYG.

Which isn't the case. There is just one new project which popped up, and apparently also has a focus which GNUstep just doesn't have (Windows deployment).GNUstep is all about deploying on as many operating systems as possible, so I'm not certain what you're referring to. GNUstep's focus, as I have recently laid out, is that of a cross-platform API which is usable on everything from Linux to Windows. The fact thatWindows isn't the only operating system that GNUstep is available on shouldn't be an issue.I'm not that much into developing-AppKit, but IMHO its a huge difference whether you write AppKit just for Windows or whether you also target X11 given that the two are vastly different. Personally I would probably approach that by writing two entirely different AppKit libraries instead of creating one huge monster abstracting away the APIs inside yet another API ...
