In my alternate universe, GNUStep or some other implementation of the NS APIs would have allowed Linux/BSD to rise in popularity along with a NeXT-ified Apple.

In my alternate universe, GNUStep or some other implementation of the NS APIs would have allowed Linux/BSD to rise in popularity along with a NeXT-ified Apple. Except that didn’t happen.
I think in your alternate universe it’s likely we’d have seen something entirely different emerge.
- pjmlp 7y agoI pretty much doubt that. GNUStep still looks much like to the on the same state it used to be when I was using WindowMaker in the late 90's. I regretted the time I once spent on the GNUStep room at FOSDEM, as the only subjects of relevance seemed to be the theme engine, as if there wasn't anything more relevant to get working properly.
