OpenStep, GNUstep "The GNUstep Windows installer is based on the MinGW system and consists of the basic MSYS and MinGW libraries, other library dependancies and the GNUstep Core packages (gnustep-make, gnustep-base, gnustep-gui, and gnustep-back). The installer installs GNUstep onto most varieties of Windows (see below for tested installations) and sets up the computer to make it easy to run GNUstep applications. It is based on the NSIS installer."

On the contrary, I think as the Mac is getting more and more popular, and more developers make Mac-only apps (there's already a ton), some may wish to port these to other platforms, without a complete rewrite.

GNUStep may be the solution to their needs (depending on the coverage of the Mac OS X APIs).

Also, some people are forced to use Windows on their workplace. Until KDE apps can run on Windows (I prefer GNOME, but... whatever), this could be a great addition.

GTK2 has long been ported to Windows and the Gimp, Abiword, Gnumeric and Pidgin all run on Windows.
