documentation from Apple is abysmal. They are betting the whole store
on OS X and Cocoa is KEY. They need all the developers they can rustle
up, even lames like me.
There are holes in Apple's Cocoa documentation, but it's not THAT bad.
It's well organized, and the docs for most of the main classes are
pretty understandable. The main focus has been Carbon because that's
what matters at the moment - porting the OS 9 base of applications to OS
X is the prime concern for most developers. The Cocoa documentation
could be a whole lot better, but it's not as bad as you make it out to
be.
