GNUstep is actually great, but it’s been around for a long time, and has some baggage because of that - which means you want the right (modern) setup, and not every Linux distribution provides the correct combination. You get Arc, you get blocks, you get everything that ObjC can offer (apart from very new or obscure Apple frameworks), and yes, it links with C/C++ just like it does on a Mac. The full GNUstep provides a lot of functionality, so it depends on having a runtime installed - so it can load system frameworks for example. This means that installing a GNUstep app will install quite a lot of extra stuff into a “system” location, which could be seen as a disadvantage though.
