I'm glad to hear Richard and others re-iterate the NeXT approach. I worked with NeXTstep for nearly 10 years (yep, I didn't switch my home system to linux/X11 until Jan this year) because it is far and away the best and most consistant computer/GUI I have ever worked with.
I'd love to see the like under Linux as well. In USER land. There is very little that has any place in the kernel. One exception is an item on another thread: a signal that tells you when a file is written. That is very useful, perhaps essential, for NeXTstep type GUI's.
I've had some involvement with the Black Linux project, less time put in than I wish, but I have a long term interest in actually making the old NeXT.App's run under Linux, at least on my trusty old NeXTstation.
Which brings up another issue. How difficult would it be to spoof such apps? I presume if WINE can be made, Mach/NeXT couldn't possibly be as difficult.
