Actually, I know wxWidgets was designed, from the beginning, to be cross 
platform, specifically targeting Windows and Unix (X, originally Motif). 
I think that's where the "w" and "x" comes from.

I think QT and Fox were designed that way from the start as well.

You're certainly correct that none of them had the Mac as a target at 
the beginning. If only Apple would port Cocoa to Unix and Windows.

Cool. How usable is GnuStep on Windows now? and how compatible are 
GnuStep and Cocoa?
