Three things that would get Mac OS X developers using GNUstep:

major functionality.
I guess that depends on what you consider huge gaps ...
* The ability to easily port from Cocoa to GNUstep. A simple nib
converter that's completely independent of GNUstep would go a long way
here.
What's the benefit of a nib converter being 'independent' of gnustep?
I'm not even sure what this means ... how could it possibly be
independent of GNUstep if it's converting nibs for it?
Practically though ...I think it's likely to be better to develop under
GNUstep and port to Cocoa than the other way round for a *LONG* time to
come - simply because there is no likelyhood that Apple will ever put
any consideration into making the port away from Cocoa easy. At least
GNUstep provides some facilities for ensuring that you write portable
code and a tool for converting user interfaces.

Well GNUstep doesn't use cygwin anyway.
