Re: Extremely poor quality of GNUStep applications

[Gregory Casamento]

None of the apps you mentioned with the sole exception of gworkspace
are maintained by this team.  So, I'm not entirely certain what your
point here is.

It is not this team's responsibility to fix every application which
uses our framework any more than it is the responsibility of the GNOME
to fix faulty GNOME programs (of which I'm sure there are a few).

While I do appreciate you pointing all of these faults out in these
various programs, but there is little the GNUstep team can do about it
short of bugs being found within GNUstep itself.  The only app we can
directly fix bugs in (from your list) is GWorkspace.

Thanks, GC
