So logically you must also believe that all unique features of Cocoa ought
to be done away with too, then?
There is no Cocoa unique feature which would clash with standard tools. Or,
more precisely, there was no NeXTStep unique feature which would, and
Cocoa is just the OpenStep (somehow extended, somehow crippled), ie. the
NeXTStep API.
As an example just compare the easy, intuitive, and
not-clashing-with-anything NeXTStep way of making folder icons (if you
dunno, folder just contained .dir.tiff and optionally .opendir.tiff for a
different image when the folder is open, and that was all) with the OSX
ugliness of non-sriptable, non-archivable, more or less non-useable Icon
file -- even without the .opendir functionality :(((
