There is a difference between the goal and the pragmatic reality.  The goal is 
that porting any Cocoa application to GNUstep is a matter of recompiling.  The 
reality is that not even every Cocoa app works on every subsequent version of 
OS X without some work to take account of how implementation details of the 
APIs have changed.  GNUstep, similarly, has some differences from Cocoa that 
are unavoidable, and if you want your code to work on both then you must take 
these into account (possibly just by sticking to the subset that works well on 
both).
