After all their versions of the OpenStep API is not aligned with Apple's version (Cocoa) and it does not seem to bother them that much.

Actually, Cocoa compatibility is a primary goal of the GNUstep project. From the GNUstep.org home page:

GNUstep seeks to be source code compatible with Cocoa, it can thus be used to develop and build cross-platform applications between Macintosh (Cocoa), Unix and Windows.

If they added "less ugly" as a goal, I think they would do better.
