There's another point I must mention - an app compiled with GnuStep under Red Hat is an order of magnitude slower, in some areas, than one compiled using XCode. The Gnu ObjC runtime appears to be very slow, contrary to what it's maintainers claim. For the two projects I've considered using GnuStep for, the performance was simply too poor. Since I consequently had to write [at the least] the core of both projects in C/C++, I decided to just use GTK for the UI anyway, and the STL of course for my containers & algorithms. A much better solution, I've found.
Would you mind to tell us about the performance problems you did find with GNUstep or the GNU ObjC runtime? Perhaps a small sample application showing this difference in the behaviour on Cocoa and GNUstep? If we know about or problems we might be able to fix them. I heared there are some small things, that Apple does faster than GNUstep, but I never did see any bigger program showing a significant difference. So I am very curious.
