Sorry, but CoCoa isn't about you. It's about me. It's about every Mac

who has never cared to program. Why do you think Apple bundles the
Developer CD inside every OS X box? I've installed every OS since 6.5,
and
I've never heard of GX or OpenDoc. Why? Because Apple didn't want me to
know
about it. They simply wanted me to keep on using Quark in my merry
little
utopia and leave the programming to you guys. CoCoa changes that, and
there's a gray CD in every box of OS X that proves it.
CoCoa IS attracting developers to the Mac, and THAT is Apple's goal.
Hear hear! It is really exciting to be able to get the Cocoa frameworks
and OS X dev tools basically for Free!
The depth and richness of the Cocoa frameworks is amazing. It's drawn me
over to developing Cocoa apps. And I have experience with Java,
REALBasic, Perl, Python, PHP and C++. All fine languages for their
purpose but none have the rich framework like Cocoa!
