There are several other important and relatively new GNU projects around - like GNU Radio, Jami, Poke (a semantics-aware binary editor), GNS (DNS alternative), Guile, Mailman, Octave, Parted, R, Shepherd, Taler, GnuCash, DDRescue and numerous others to name. But if you leave out the 'new' part, you'll discover a lot more fantastic gnu projects [1], including Linux's entire coreutils. If you spend enough time with some of them, you'll see how focused, clever, polished and well-integrated many of them are - like bc, units, wget and stow for example. You get the Emacs vibe from many of them. On top of that, a lot of important software are built on top of GNU software like glibc, gsl, gcc, groff, libjit, gmp, ghostscript, libtasn1, readline, aspell, tar (gnu format), termcap, bash, etc. And one thing in common with most of them is their longevity.

A lot of those I think are > 20yrs now, so not necessarily "new" projects

> including Linux's entire coreutils

Ah yes I think I've heard of this GNU/Linux thing. To see if they will come ahead of Berkeley System Distribution. /s
