Informed opinions about Cocoa vs Carbon vs Cocoa + Carbon/Core are very
relevant; they relate to when & where it might be better to use Carbon, and
when & where it would not.

It happens all the time in response to questions about lower-level system
access that is not supported in Cocoa. I've done it many times myself.
It also occasionally happens in response to questions about the larger scale
of what technology to use to write/port a particular app--though less and
less as time goes on, and certainly much less since WWDC 07.

Some people might have come to the wrong place. It's common for newcomers to
ask questions here that clearly belong on mt-smp or perfoptimization or
macnetworkprog. Referring them out to those lists doesn't provoke
controversy; Cocoa should be no different in that regard--as long as the
recommendation is appropriate.
