Re: Wishlist of apps to port?

Since GNUstep supports the entire OpenStep API surface, I was able to 
extremely quickly port the OpenStep version of MathEdit to GNUstep: 
https://github.com/jeffreybergier/MathEdit/pull/57. It's probably useful 
to try to get all the later macOS APIs it uses into GNUstep, since those 
are probably highly-used in modern apps.
