Is it bad practice to write Windows applications using GNUStep?

I want to start development for Windows, but I want to keep some of my frameworks that I used with NSFoundation. I want to create them on Windows using GNUStep and maybe write an entire application using GNUStep.

Would this be considered bad practice?

If I had to deploy applications to Windows, I would use GNUStep, CocoaTron, or anything else I could find to let me avoid .NET or Win32. I could even settle for Qt if I had to.

Speaking of myself, I prefer Cocotron over GNUStep . Cocotron is a standalone application, existing entirely in its own subdirectory in C: \ Program Files. It also looks and acts more like a native Windows application. The GNUStep application requires a full installation of the entire GNUStep environment and doesn’t mix well - it looks and acts just like what it is, a * nix application that runs on Windows. All in all, I think Cocotron provides the best end-user experience.

On the other hand, the GNUStep developer tools can run on Windows, while Cocotron requires the developer to work fully in Xcode and cross-compile to create a Windows binary (or other non-Mac). Regardless of whether it will be considered pro or con, it depends on how much you like Xcode.
