Well, depending on the task I often build those "toys" in RealBasic - with the option to create an Windows variant for "the rest of the company".

The biggest lack we have seen in Cocoa is database access. With NSXMLParser, I have had good luck getting to XML files, but databases are a royal pain. With Java, we have many good OO database toolkits - Hibernate, Cayenne, our own homegrown one, and the raw JDBC access provided at the language layer, and they work like a dream. Since EOF left, Cocoa lacks this support.

So what? Fire up an Java Database layer either by JNI invocation (some pain) or the Cocoa<->Java bridge (easy, but deprecated).
