you know

it's matter of taste

some like red color, some don't

why Cocoa is better then PowerPlant or Qt for example?

or even poor HIFramework from Apple's examples.

some may say that PowerPlant is years ahead of Cocoa.

Adobe was able to create Photoshop with Carbon

and I think Photoshop isn't bad application at all

iTunes was Carbon application as well I think

Cocoa applications aren't faster they are probably slower

(not much and that's not that important)

it's pure politic from Apple's side

they want to push Cocoa, that's all

it is not about better application or better framework

Carbon frameworks (or better non Cocoa GUI frameworks)

against Cocoa is just another religious war.

the same true for objectiveC against c++

quality of application is "orthogonal" to the modern framework you use

or language you use.

as it was said million times: you can create good application with PowerPlant and bad with Cocoa and vice versa

people that familiar with PP will create you application for the same amount of time

that people who familiar with Cocoa

and BTW, why 64 bit Cocoa GUI application will be better then

32 bit Carbon GUI application?

will it be faster? no, probably, not

64 bit Cocoa it's just another example of the "Hz myth" :-)

and pure advertisement: big nice 64 on the screen, cooool ;-)

take a look at Mathematica

AFAIK, they just separated GUI from non-GUI, so they can use 64/128/256 bit :-)

for non gui and still be happy with 32 bit GUI

Ah, but in theory Cocoa should allow developers to produce better

Did for me. Does for people who take the time. Doesn't, obviously, for
people who don't.

Might arguably attract people who can't yet still allow them to get
*something* out the door.
