GORM 1.0 Release to Take on GNOME/KDE?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the uphill-battles dept.

qa'lth writes "Today marks the occasion of the release of Gorm 1.0, the Interface Builder for the GNUstep project, and with its release, comes the obsolesence of the GNOME and KDE projects. Finally, today, Free Software users can enjoy the power of a well-designed, powerful object-oriented system derived from OpenStep, legacy to the acclaimed MacOSX, through GNUstep, our loving reimplementation of the OpenStep standard."

    Not even Microsoft would dare make such blatant and patently false claims.

    Why is the icon from the top of my Window-Maker dock at the top of Slashdot? I thought I was the only one who knew that desktop existed (it's my second favorite after Fluxbox!). What's Gorm? Why is a GNU app, or ANY Open Source app, touted like a World Wrestling cheesehead brought into the show in the second half? I don't care if your open-source app is the second coming of Buddha, though shalt not challenge thy fellow FOSS! What's this with WM's lineage? I thought it was descended from NextStep? I can't reach any of the links. Has OpenStep just thrown away it's only chance for popularity with this dishrag post?

    Dude, you mixed up Gorp and Gort.

    Gorp is trail mix.

    Gort is the big shiny robot.
