I agree with this completely.  To contradict James, I *hate* that Xcode 
sucked up Interface Builder and tries to stick it all in one window, 
forcing me to constantly fiddle with the limited secondary views even 
though I have plenty of space for their palette predecessors.  I would 
*love* to work on making Gorm available to other Mac developers who also 
hate the cramped interface.

It would definitely take more effort to do that sort of platform-level 
integration, though.  It still all comes down to picking an approach and 
supporting it.  Right now, it isn't even clear to me that supporting a 
GNUstep distribution *is* a core goal.
