Hi. I have one question as a stupid user: why there is no commercial Mac OS X application that was ever offered also offer GNU Step binary? I had been using Mac OS on one computer and gnustep on another for 5 years without coming across one application that runs on both. I dimly remembered around 3 years ago I even wrote to one of the vendor asking them to port to gnustep saying "it's just a re-compilation" and they replied they didn't know gnustep could do that and yet it's not a priority now for them to test if what I said is true, but would be happy to do that when they got the time, which usually means forever. No criticism. I am too stupid to know the detail to comment insightfully on any topic being discussed here. I am juts being curious why it's not already happening that a lot of Mac OS applications (and AppStore applications) water-flow to Linux users like they did in Apple's new world.
