So, despite all the economic and practical pressures, I have no real choice but to do my damnedest to make GNUstep into what I consider a "proper" desktop environment -- hew close to Mac OS X 10.5, but change the things that are *actually* in need of updates:

• No more pixmap UI themes, draw the fucking thing with proper scalable vectors defined in physical-space terms that obey the screen DPI
• A global menu bar that follows a regular set of rules for organization and behaviour
• A design language that evokes modern visual style, while being essentially still AppKit in function
• The production of NSView subclasses to make certain kinds of applications much easier to make as native GNUstep apps:
• WebContentView
• MediaPlaybackView
• TerminalView
• SDLSurfaceView
