Re: State of the 'Step

Even more to the point: unless there are simple GnuStep meta-packages =
for the major BSD and Linux distributions that are reasonable =
"click-install-run" easy, most of the effort going into GNUStep is =
wasted, because except for a few nostalgic exNeXT users and a few =
developers, nobody is going to use it.
I didn't have time to play with GNUStep for ages, but I keep following =
the development from a distance, but think about it for a moment: if KDE =
or something like it would require that level of involvement just to get =
going, do you think it would have the sort of adoption it has now?
