Featurewise, yes!

But many of the advances of Cocoa/Aqua over GNUstep/Etoile fit into the 
nice to have box and are not absolutely necessary to have for an 
efficient desktop.

Are you kidding?

In conjunction with legacy stuff from Sun (Sun Ray, SGD,...) 
GNUstep/Etoile is a killer. For my father in law (iMovie, iTunes,...) a 
Mac is exactly the right box. But have you ever tried to bring Macs to 
enterprises? I have, also successfully. I have also seen Apple dropping 
EOF and Yellow Box from the market, porting WebObjects to Java and then 
back to Objective-C,... Oh my ... ! I can really sleep well now knowing 
that our preferred deployment platform for enterprise applications is 
Solaris/GNUstep/Etoile and whatever Apple does in the near future 
(iPhone, iPod,...), we will be able to deploy our business applications 
on any unix machine on earth (thanks to GNUstep and Etoile). Life is 
great!
