You may be right, but no one knows for certain yet.  The GNU Project hasn't
produced much except development tools and unix-replacing utilities which
by and large are only used by people who like those sorts of things.  :-)
That's already got us too occupied to do much else.

There may be any number of reasons why nobody else has developed any GPL'ed
"applications" yet.  A large part of it, in my speculative opinion, is that
it's a fairly new idea and most companies don't yet accept that it could
work.  Very few radical ideas have met with overwhelming approval at their
introduction.

We'll see if Oleo takes off when it gets into better shape.
