I didn't know that either. I talked to them over a year ago, and even 
helped port the code from NeXTStep to OpenStep (it still appears that I 
have the last commit in the repository). Then they sort-of said that 
they didn't have anyone who knew Objective-C and thought it would be 
better just to rewrite it in C++ or something. And then all development 
seemed to stop...

It appears they also claim that GNUstep isn't complete enough compared 
to NeXTStep/OpenStep. Completely false though - I told them that it 
was, and that was almost two years ago.
