  webobjects was a rebranding of openstep + some new tools. The last version lived on java. Some people started with next, branched to wo, survived on it for six or seven years and then migrated back to cocoa/iphone. Similar API through Not directly in response to you but a couple of others - I was rambling on a diversion, and when doing that need to explain the new point more clearly than I did. Sun seemed to have been well-positioned for building a good developer desktop platform for a window of about fifteen years but seemed to never attempt it. The fact that next bounced their ecosystem off Java while they were building a platform partly demonstrates the strong position Sun had.
