One of the reasons why GNUstep got started was the longing for the
ease of programming and the ease of use which we feel is not available
under other operating systems. However to take GNUstep out of the
realm of programmers and make it more accessible to average users;
there is a definite need to provide a set of standard applications.
There aren't any standard applications written with GNUstep, but there
are several that are meant to be used with GNUstep or are related to
it. 

While most of the user applications are in the Alpha and Beta level
of development they do demonstrate the progress GNUstep has made.
Questions, Comments or to contribute to user applications please
feel free to contact us on the GNUstep Discussion List. 

discuss-gnustep@gnu.org

If you are beginning a project please let us know and we will list it here!
Also, check the gnustep ftp site (and mirrors) for source to these apps 
and more (ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/usr-apps)

Please also visit our Design Gallery where you can get the first impression
of the icons which will be used in the final applications. There are also
some thoughts on look'n'feel' of GNUstep.

GYVE is an extensible vector-based drawing package in the spirit
of Adobe Illustrator. GYVE uses Display PostScript for drawing
(Display Ghostscript on systems that don't have native DPS).
