Well, those are personal opinions. I for example dislike the look of gtk 
and that of gtk2 even more. If I need such a kind of toolkits I prefer 
Motif.

The nice of GNUstep is that it is a different beast. And looks fine too.

Also, I don't think the discussion was about creating a "GTK backend" 
for gnustep! I think something of that kind was attempted in the 
beginning of gnustep for motif but this wouldn't work.
