I've recently come back to Debian after several years of disappointing work on other platforms (mainly Mac). In the past, I had used Windowmaker as my window manager and a few GNUstep apps (GNUmail, mainly).
Is GNUstep still a useful platform; is it popular? I see that there have been some recent releases of the API tools, but sometimes it's difficult to tell how pervasive a platform is. "Actively developed" can sometimes mean that three hackers continue to work on something that everyone else has abandoned :D I no longer have time to spend hours tweaking config files, and thus prefer an integrated desktop environment, but GNOME and KDE are too bulky for my PIII-650 / 320MB workstation. I've not tried XFCE yet, but hear good things. I really do enjoy the NeXT/OPEN/AFTER/step environment, but don't want to get reacquainted with something that's dying a slow death :( Thanks for any tips --maestro
