This post cries for trolling, however since I very much agree that Apple 
is dumbing down Mac to be like an iPhone in every detail of its 
interface and that it lost its consistency and ease of use years ago and 
goes worse and worse with each release done since 10.3, I wonder how 
this affects GNUstep.

I use GNUstep daily. While we surely add APIs coming from Cocoa, we are 
very careful in changing the interface and the user experience.

I run GWorkspace, Terminal and several end-user applications and their 
appearance changed little, new features try to blend in.

So if you want your *rant* to be just somewhat constructive, please detail.

Thanks.
