GNUstep is a free replacement for OpenStep (and some parts of Cocoa, but not
others). This is unattractive to many people for two reasons: OpenStep is
not an environment they want, and GNUstep's Cocoa compatibility is not
complete.
Personally, I favor the approach suggested by Alex Perez: Let GNUstep
include the "good" parts of Cocoa, and let an optional framework try to be
100% compatible. Unfortunately, his [PortabilityKit][1] never got off the
ground.
