According to *many* experienced PP developers who have made the switch,

What, not 'til DR *3*? n00b :) Now those of us who _are_ experienced, never mind PP, we were working with Metrowerks tools in 1987. (Granted, that was Modula-2, but hey.)


My productivity gain PowerPlant->Cocoa was, I think, more significant
than the one Think Class Library->PowerPlant. PowerPlant was really good,
yet I don't miss it one bit.

Hmmmm, well, I wouldn't go quite as far as "don't miss it one bit", I had a really quite magnificent set of source libraries by the time it was discontinued, but if we leave out the part where I essentially toss a good dozen years of full-time knowledge accumulation and start back on equal terms with the little Cocoa fanboy whippersnappers prancing around these days, yeah, this is a fair statement.
