It would be nice to see more Objective-C on more platforms but two would be good.

Plus there is another implementation, QuantumSTEP, which runs on small devices such as the Zaurus and Openmoko phones.

That's way more than two platforms for sure

ANY desktop alternative to Gnome or KDE is welcome but I always had a certain fondness for NeXTstep.

I fully agree with you here. This project is really nice, but it lacks publicity.

I'm saying this as a person, who just discovers Smalltalk/Obj-C.

Sadly it failed to detect the WiFi so I was unable to fully test it out. I saw for myself the lack of theming in Windowmaker though, so I don't consider this a total loss.

The whole thing had the feel of very early technology though, reminding me of OS/2 or earlier versions of WinNT 3.x. Reminded me a bit also of LiteStep which was a Windows shell replacement based on AfterStep, so that was to be expected. Due to the lack of theming support and dated look, I have to echo other posters and wonder why there wasn't an effort to use ÃtoilÃ© and slap a developer's release label on it?

(I know, I know--ÃtoilÃ© is not yet ready for use by end-users, it is intended for developers only until the next major milestone, which is intended for end-users... Still it seems to me better to generate some excitement than to risk being forgotten about! Which incidentally seems to be the only purpose behind this live-cd release--so why not show your best?)

I'm a dedicated Window Maker user, which is ugly. It's more functional that anything else I've tried. WM also lets you turn of the dock and app icons which is a godsend as they are god aweful too.

Your question is a little like why doesn't GTK use GNOME. I think what you mean is why doesn't GNUStep use the Camaelon theme from Etoile, and the answer is that it can and Camaelon is included in the livecd.
