Learning Cocoa often has a long stretch where it seems like nothing is
making sense, followed by an AHA! moment and lots of productivity.
In other words, yes, there's a learning curve, but it has a big payoff
at the end.
Some things necessary for the "light" to go off:
1. Understand the Model-View-Controller design pattern.
2. Understand the target-action design pattern (and how it facilitates
MVC).
3. Understand Cocoa memory management (part way between C's
do-everything-yourself approach and Java's we-do-it-all-for-you
approach).
If you can internalize these, a lot of other things will start making
sense.
Good luck!
