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.

That is probably true from your prospective. But those holes in Apple's
Cocoa documentation look a lot larger when you are also standing in a
hole, struggling to climb the mountain. As for Carbon: I really gave
that some thought, because it was plain that there was tons of legacy
docs and examples; but I decided to get into this because of what Quartz
can do, so there I am.
