I disagree ... I think that other foundations (ie libFoundation and 
OPENSTEP Foundation - all I know of)
are even less of a priority for MacOS-X developers than they are for 
me.  All the MacOS-X developers care
about is if GNUstep is sufficiently compatible with MacOS-X foundation - 
and at the moment they will see
that, with the exception of apple events, it does pretty much everything 
MacOS-X Foundation does with a
common API.  It does some other stuff too, but that's not likely to be 
relevant to them.
