Not really, since you can perfectly develop highly complex multi- 
platform GUI apps in Java, whereas this is far from realistic with  
GNUstep, I am afraid.

Personally I would integrate Etoilé into GNUstep (granted the authors  
agree), update the GNUstep website to reflect this new "GNUstep  
paradigm"  ("GNUstep" being a GNU desktop for X11 based Unices) and  
then advertise this as "GNUstep Alpha" or so (the frameworks/ 
libraries can still be used as cross-platform API, of course).
