I think being so heavily pushed by Apple is actually a downside for ObjC here. I really enjoyed programming ObjC when I was programming for iOS and Mac. That was mostly because of the very rich API shipped with Apple products.

Can you point me to a list of libraries written in ObjC that work without Apple specific code? (E.g. without using anything starting with 'NS')

Gnustep

I'm aware of Gnustep, so I was hoping someone would mention it. But I was hoping for more than one word. How many people are using it in production? Have they had good experiences or bad? What are the surprises they've encountered? Does it have ARC support? Can I use XCode to build with it?
