Portions of Cocoa itself are built on Carbon (menu handling,
workspace notifications, etc.).
Many apps themselves utilize portions of Carbon API to perform
functions that Cocoa does not yet expose.
Here is a quick survey of apps shipped with OS X that are Cocoa or
utilize Cocoa code
Apps and Utilities
Battery Monitor.dock
Signal Strength.dock
Address Book.app
Calculator.app
Chess.app
Clock.app
BlastApp.app
HTMLEdit.app
Internet Connect.app
Mail.app
Preview.app
Stickies.app
System Preferences.app
TextEdit.app
Console.app
CPU Monitor.app
Directory Setup.app
Disk Copy.app
Disk Utility.app
Grab.app
Installer.app
NetInfo Manager.app
Network Utility.app
ProcessViewer.app
SetupAssistant.app
Terminal.app
And in Developer Tools
BombApp.app
Sketch.app
FileMerge.app
icns Browser.app
IconComposer.app
Interface Builder.app
IORegistryExplorer.app
JavaBrowser.app
MallocDebug.app
ObjectAlloc.app
OpenGLInfo.app
PackageMaker.app
Pixie.app
Project Builder.app
ProjectBuilderWO.app
PropertyListEditor.app
QuartzDebug.app
Sampler.app
CoreServices
loginwindow.app
Assistant.app
I may have missed a few, but you get the idea ...

I think this should be reworded. All of OmniGroup's applications
and Mail DOES have a cocoa base, however I know OmniWeb, and Mail
probably does too, has Carbon parts to it. For example, the Plugin
loader for omniweb is carbon. Any aliases these apps may use are
Carbon. I know there is more, I just don't know the specific parts
and would rather not mention them in the chance the app doesn't
use carbon for it.

All OmniGroup applications are written in Cocoa, as I'm sure you
would've gathered if you'd read their site in detail. Mail is a
Cocoa application. iTunes and iMovie are Carbon because they were
originally for OS 9 and ported to OS X (a full rewrite would've
taken longer than people were prepared to wait, and been pretty
pointless).
