Garnet actually runs quite well on Clisp on Linux, but it is not yet
truly cross platform and is never likely to be cross platform on nearly
as many platforms as Clisp itself is.  It might attract more users if
it's look were a little more "modern" but it doesn't work with CLOS
without writing a glue layer between the garnet object system and CLOS
itself.

Essentially, there are very few native lisp GUI apps being written
currently.  Hopefully this situation will improve someday.
