I run it.  ;->

Well, I run the Window Maker window manager, and have the ObjC tools and
libs installed, and various GNUStep widgets.  And I'm a longtime fan of
ObjC, and wish it had been more popular instead of that unspeakable C++.
Unfortunately, for all their elegance, the GNUStep reimplementation of
Cocoa (derived from OPENSTEP) has just never gotten much mindshare.  Nor
has ObjC.

The KDE and Freedesktop.org/GNOME kiddies would rather redesign
everything, badly.  ;->
