The Mac platform was always considered a premium platform, hence much of its software is shareware or commercial. In the recent days more freeware applications have emerged, but the majority are small utilities and not full scale applications. Enter the world of GNU which can not only provide "free" applications as in beer, but most importantly, "Free", as in Freedom.

The look but more importantly the feel differs enormously between the average gtk application and mac os x applications. If you blindly port that people will get a really low opinion of freeware/opensource software. You looked at Gimp.app, now use it and compare it to the average cocoa application. Then you will now what I'm talking about.
It would be better if there were more opensource cocoa applications using some algorithms from a opensource application. (like adium and gaim)
