incomplete libraries?
That's open to debate. If you compare it to Cocoa, yes, it's
"incomplete."
Question is how far the completeness is supposed to go (with respect
to
Cocoa).

If we just implement the OpenStep specification (and ignore cocoa,
which
added nice thing and ruined others) we have enough power to write our
web
browser (yes, seriously, it is time and resources which lack, not
frameworks), an office suite, an imaging application, a 3d
application.... it
was done on OpenStep and we even have stuff which was not in OS.

I beg to differ. Which framework(s) are you referring to regarding a
web browser?
Yes, there basically are 3 to pick from (libwww, Mozilla's engine and
WebKit) but the first two would need wrapping and the latter is a
PITA to port (I tried several times and got stuck due to references to
Apple specific frameworks) plus the latter two are (currently) using
GTK/GDK, which -- for me -- is a 'no go.'
