Sorry, but ROX and GNUstep are experimentations. They don't have users or vendors or real systems they need to integrate with or previous version compatibility issues, etc. When I say "reality", I mean products shipping and an active marketplace around them (which *can* be said for GNOME/KDE). Then the hairier issues of software support beyond "hey does this stuff work?" start to bite. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2010: Wellington, NZ http://www.penguinsvisiting.org.nz/ "People who paid for bug fixes in the 3c501 driver also bought MacIIfx support contracts..." - Alan Cox -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
