I have had the same with Berlin... the ideas are great, but the project is
slow... On the otherhand creating a Fresco/GNUstep system might be the
killer idea that helps both projects.
Maybe this is filling a gap. It might be possible that both slow but
steady growing projects can fill the gap of a desktop/developer integrated
system that was left open after NeXT.
