You are absolutely correct.  While GNUstep still needs more work, and
there are some features it would be nice to have (I don't recall them
doing much with antialiasing, or GNOME/KDE interoperability), at this
point it is absolutely unfair to compare GNOME or KDE to the massive
amounts of usefull functionality that GNUstep has for the programmer.

On the other hand, GNUstep is way behind on application support, and
thus lacks needed end user functionality.
