The releases just keep on coming, don't they? The GNUstep live CD has been updated "The GNUstep live CD contains a lot of software for GNUstep, a free implementation of the OPENSTEP framework (which was also the base as Cocoa in Mac OS X)." The GNUstep page can tell you more about GNUstep itself.

There is however a difference between 'simplistic' and 'ugly'. I hate eye candy too, and am a quite happy user of dwm. I know it is personal but I think GNUstep is ugly. Not because there is too little eye candy but because imo the colours a badly chosen, the shades feel strange and the style uses in icons seem to be random. It seems there is no consistency at all.
I think if it was simpler ( eg. remove the shades, making all icons flat and the same etc. ) it would be more beautiful.

uh, because lots of people have lots of varying opinions on aesthetics. I, for one, despise GUIs KDE and Gnome. I just can't stand it. I still use a NeXT regularly and love how unobtrusive the GUI is. It's slick, out of the way, and awesome. Eye-candy just gets on my nerves
Some people actually LIKE minimum and out of the way. It leaves lots of screen space for actual work.
Granted, it isn't for everyone. But people that like minimum GUIs like Flux, ratpoison, etc etc, would probably like the NeXT GUI (which wmaker is a clone of).
Heres a screenshot from my NeXT
