GNUStep/ObjC

Why not just use ObjC? Myself, I'd rewrite the world in Smalltalk derivatives, but if the Gnome guy has to have some sort of type checking and C familiarity, why not use ObjC and the GNUStep libraries? The only drawback I can see is the lack of garbage collection, and even that can be hacked fixed by using the Boehm Collector.
