It's absolutely true that Cocoa takes time to learn, but it's not like it's *that* hard for an experienced software developer -- especially one already comfortable with object-oriented programming -- to get started with.

When my parents taught me how to tie my shoes, the first step was taught backward. As a result, my bows would always want to go vertical instead of looking correct. About a decade ago I finally thought about this, figured out what was wrong, and corrected my shoe tying process. To this day, I have to stop and think about which way the first part should go to come out correct. The earlier method is still built into my brain and tries to take over.


My point? Being forced to switch programming gears is going to waste a lot of valuable time for many, *many* developers and companies. Not only in the total redesign of their code, but also in the education and experience-building areas.
