Is NeXTStep inherently wedded to Display PostScript?
I don't see hy it could be put on top another low level imaging model
such as XWindows.  It would take more work because DPS hides pixel/plane/font
machine dependencies.   Then only drawing the contents of the View classes
would change to the underlying imaging model.
I suspect IBM's version may have made this transition.
