Two points,

First I'd like to agree with Ted, that I think the top priority should 
be getting swarm working on as many different types of machines as 
possible. A good GUI is nice, but expanding and supporting the user
community should come first.

Second, in regard to a debugger (and Obj-C development in general), I 
was wondering if anyone has corresponded with any of the GNUStep people.
I know Swarm isn't based on GNUStep at all, but it seems that we might
have some common interests (such as a gdb that fully supports Obj-C).

Thanks,

John Eikenberry
