Every year or so I take a look at GNUStep just to see what's going on. Crazy it hasn't taken off.

  Unfortunately - call me superficial - I can't really get past its crusty look.

    I'm with you on that, and it seems to be symptomatic of the project's refusal to step away from the legacy of mimicking OPENSTEP. They've made 1995 look like a goal towards which to aspire. They've added theming support to GNUSTEP, but that's really lipstick on a pig. Then again, I can't blame them too much, the project is mostly quiet and doesn't attract as much attention as the other popular Linux toolkits.

      With material design and fluent design, OPENSTEP is fossilizing.

        GNUSTEP, you mean. OPENSTEP is the fossil GNUSTEP wants to be. In fairness, they've made strides since then. The Foundation library seems to be aiming for compatibility with a macOS release from several years ago, at least still more recent than the early-to-mid 90s.
