How?

Has anybody a recent GNUstep version running with Etoile? I am 
considering to upgrade my tree in a couple of days but am wondering 
whether this is a good idea since I hear only bad things about Etoile 
with regard to recent changes in GNUstep!? Has anybody cared recently 
to check Etoile against GNUstep (Camaleon, Narcissus,...)?

Thanks,

 Andreas
