Suitability for production code?

[Gregory Weston]

This is an overly blunt question, but my timeframes right now are 
shorter than I'd like. I've used NeXTstep a bit and Cocoa extensively 
but I'm new to GNUstep. A client to whom I cannot sell a Mac, but who 
has embraced Linux, has approached me to write the replacement for an 
old Windows app - written with Borland's Delphi environment - and I'd 
prefer to use an OpenStep derivative this time around. So I have, 
literally this week, begun poking at GNUstep. The app is algorithmically 
simple - and I have the benefit of being intimately familiar with the 
Delphi app, having written it as an employee - but needs to be 
bullet-proof.

What I'm really looking for is opinions, anecdotes, etc on how stable 
and robust the GNUstep version of Foundation is. I know I'm up to it 
because I've already done it, but GNUstep's my unknown. Can I trust this 
as the base for a mid-volume server (say 50,000 transactions per day), 
heavily threaded with response windows measured in centiseconds, and 
uptime that needs to be very close to 100%?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Greg
