I think even though many people have Macs nowadays, very few do
development on it. And then there is Objective-C and Interface
Builder which are languages tools only available to Mac. That makes
it more difficult for people coming to the Mac platform and wanting
to contribute.
Okay, it only has a small userbase, but there is Gnustep, which is
pretty similiar. I think it's possible to writeprograms that build on
OSX and Gnustep. Not sure if there are christians out there
using it though.
That's right, there is Gnustep.
I've looked into this when I thought maybe the MacSword 1.x branch
might be possible to be ported to Gnustep since it still has
compatibility to Mac OSX 10.3.
But I found out relatively fast that Gnustep is way behind Cocoa.
There is still no WebKit which is there for Cocoa since Mac OSX 10.2
and also no SearchKit which we are using (and many, many more things).
In my opinion Gnustep can be used for none GUI programs and simple GUI
applications. But if you have something more sophisticated in mind
then you just can nothing else but forget it.

Manfred
