Mine is better (TM) :-)

More seriously, I think we could take the one wich has the more features and 
which is the more orthogonal; 
next add missing feature from the other(s) one(s) and may be some methods to 
avoid introducing too much 
changes in applications which use the other(s) one(s).
A requirement (IMHO), is to put the resulting library/framework on GNUstep cvs 
dev-lib and avoid dependencies n non LGPL
code (of course).
