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."

The read advantage for everyone is that developers can develop in the comfort of a Unix environment like Mac or Linux, then spend a little bit of time tweaking the program and create a windows version instead of the other way around. Your Mac apps look and behaves native, and there is really no such thing as a Windows native feel (just look at the differences even amongst all the MS apps).

The sad fact is that a large number of people are forced to use windows for one reason or another, and with GNUStep, you can still use Objective-C and Windows users can use your programs.
