I've seen several statements in this thread to the effect of Cocoa "is not cross-platform", thus it's bad.

I fail to see how this is relevant to the subject at hand: no 64 bit Carbon UI code in Leopard. If you are writing native Mac OS X UI code, it's platform specific by definition regardless of which language or API you use.

The argument is that the developers on our Windows team won't be able to look at Mac code to see what logic was used when porting UI first written on the Mac in Cocoa, because they'll first have to sit there and stare at what looks like garbage with way too many square brackets scattered about. It's one of the many bad things about Obj-C in general.
