At this same time, the recently released NeXTSTEP was generating intense interest in the developer world. Features that were originally part of Red, were folded into Pink, and the Red project (also known as "Raptor") was eventually canceled. This problem was also common at Apple during this period; in order to chase the "next big thing", middle managers would add new features to their projects with little oversight, leading to enormous problems with feature creep. In the case of Pink, development eventually slowed to the point the project appeared moribund.
