But with Carbon+AppKit you're already on the ObjC train riding on the 
Cocoa railroad.  A GNUstep application runs flawlessly on GNU/Linux and 
(in most cases) on all versions of MuckOS X plus all the other platforms 
that GNUstep supports.  So basically, developing for GNUstep is like 
developing a Java program for GCJ/Classpath: it is usable in the Free 
World as well as with proprietary Java platforms.

So we may say that one prominent incarnation of the "Java Trap" is the 
"Cocoa Trap".

I have to admit that I understand your hesitation, more or less.
The trouble with Emacs on GNUstep is that GNUsteppers are not familiar 
with Emacs internals and Emacs developers are not familiar with GNUstep.  
It is a mountain to learn when you look from both sides.
