By your own admission you don't know the Carbon frameworks but more
importantly, don't know the essence of Carbon, Therefore your can't
offer a meaningful comparison between Carbon and Cocoa. I don't want
to make you look like an ass. What I'd like you to realize is that
Carbon is the deft intersection of "classic" Mac and Cocoa and in
the process of the merge, manages to trim a lot of the warts out of
both while preserving many valuable characteristics.
Can't you guys just get along and stop this Carbon vs. Cocoa
schtick? I've been doing Carbon (and Classic before that) about for as
long as I can think, and I could probably beat a bunch of people here
in obscure Carbon trivia. I'm bummed that Carbon is going away, too,
but considering how Apple is killing off Carbon, I think a Cocoa
solution is a valid one these days, even on this list.
Even Larry, who's probably one of the few people who actually have a
darned good reason not to rewrite their app in Cocoa, has accepted
that, and is telling newbies they might be better off learning other
systems.
Moreover, the OP mentioned a reason why he thought he couldn't use
Cocoa, and Mike merely corrected that assertion. It's really no use to
tell him he was following a pattern and applying a "tactic", not to
mention rude.
C'mon guys, let's all group hug and get back to the thing that is
actually important: Making sure our apps are the best out there and
work.
Cheers,
