I started developing for KDE because I used KDE. But I cannot currently use 
gnustep/etoile because there is not even a decent webbrowser. And applications 
not written for gnustep/etoile integrate very badly with gnustep/etoile.

As someone who never used nextstep, I am not used to its look & feel and I 
don't like its look. This is not about what is better, this is about what I am 
used to. I think gnustep with Cameleon and a decent theme looks o.k., but I 
wouldn't like to use gnustep with the original nextstep look.

I guess I am not the only one who things like this
