share your efforts ?

A good question. Somewhat prohibitive is Cocotron's BSD-type license vs. GNUsteps GNU-type license. Many closed source developers fear GNU licenses.

Cocotron pro's:

- Tight Xcode integration.

- Single script installer - complains about installation issues are rare.

- MS Windows is the primary target - an advantage for those wanting to deploy on Windows.

- Standalone applications.

- Very low get-started-barrier.

- Deals well with it's incompleteness.

GNUstep pro's:

- More careful written code - lots of comments in there.

- Doesn't try to reinvent the wheel and makes use of dependencies like libjpeg, cairo.

- Bigger community.

- Independent of Xcode, you can build on Linux/FreeBSD/Windows/ whatever as well.

- Most of Cocotron's advantages could be implemented without too much effort.

- More complete.
