I am soon starting a new multi-platform end-user product project and  
would like to use an object-oriented approach and I vastly prefer  
ObjC to C++ (yes, I come from a NeXT background).  I asked the  
gnu-objc list this question last month and received no replies;  
perhaps this list has some insights?

Is GNU-ObjC and its runtime ready for the harsh realities of being  
used in a commercial development environment? (I need to convince  
Management that a portable, free, cooperatively implemented language  
system is right to "bet the farm on".)

On which target systems is GNU-ObjC known to run?  What are the known  
problem systems?

Are there any anecdotes to share on experiences using GNU-ObjC for  
commercial development, good or bad?

I'll be glad to summarize replies to the list.  If this is the wrong  
list to ask, could someone please let me know of a better forum.

Thanks.

-chuck
