Objective-C is a nice language. There are a few gotchas though. Just
remember that it's dynamically typed, and it doesn't do a huge amount
of compile time checked. Calling a non-existant method it not fatal,
nor is passing the wrong kind of object ;)

I don't know how much of the OpenStep framework is implemented in
GNUStep, but I hear it's fairly complete. I've only ever worked with
OS X, so I do know some useful things.

Oh, and make use of delegates. Before you subclass, always check if
you can do it with delegates.
