Of course it's up to you, but I wouldn't want to use portability as the only criterion for deciding what to study. Maybe you want to accomplish things that are only possible with Cocoa (like deliver maximum-quality OS X applications). Or maybe Cocoa is just fun. Or maybe you believe future programming environments will resemble Cocoa, so although the language and libraries may not be portable, the concepts will.

The language and libraries *are* portable, albeit with a number of caveats,
especially so far as AppKit is concerned: see www.gnustep.org.

Actually I haven't done any research of this issue, but so far as I am said, the ObjC/Foundation part might even be more portable than Java ;)
