There's one compelling reason to develop for X instead of NeXTStep: you want
to reach an installed base, rather than counting on a religious conversion
on the part of your entire intended market.

Besides that, though, much of what you say is true. (Except that I'm not
really sure that trying to use the DPS extension is 1/3 of the way to
choosing to use NeXTStep -- far less, I'd guess.)
