Oh! Was that the argument? Nah, it's not just like Unix for GUI applications. While you can run and write X11 applications they aren't integrated into the OS in any meaningful way, and the paste board issues are just the start. Of course "UNIX" doesn't have much of a standard GUI anyway, POSIX of course doesn't define anything of the sort. Linux has two main toolkits these days GTK/QT. Freedesktop is making some head way into having GUI development be a bit simpler, but there's still a long way to go in the opensource world for GUI toolkits.

Uhhh... AppKit and CoreFoundation exist on other OSes? This is news to me. While it might be possible to use a subset of them a make something that could either be compiled for GNUStep and AppKit it wouldn't be simple or "no extra effort."
And not everyone who farms makes money at it. In fact most don't, it is perhaps even more unforgiving then being a musician . But one's children are protected the others aren't, why?
