do we need another GUI?
Since 30 years thousands of programmers try to build graphical desktop 
environments. Probably billions of dollars were spent. Now we've seen Chromium, 
Ajax, Android, OS/2, GEM, Windows 3.11/95/XP/7/8/8.1 GNOME, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, 
Enlightenment, Unity, Cinnamon, MATE, NeXTSTEP, MOS.. just to name some. Most 
of them suck. Very few of them are popular. Maybe this is a task too big for 
mankind. Maybe the whole concept with this one-dot pointing device is wrong. 
What will GNUstep with no budget and only a dozen programmers do different to 
bring up the final, long awaited holy grail of ultimate graphical desktop 
environment?
We are trying quite some years now. What makes you hope the big break through 
will happen next year? And even if it would happen, will any user of a popular 
UI dump it in favour of GNUstep?
