I think that the more Cocoa programmers there are the better.
However, there are essentially no Cocoa programming jobs for anyone. The
newbies are not taking anything away from the vetrans because there is
nothing to take. I don't expect very much new professional Cocoa work to
materialize either. Programming for a small percentage of a 5% platform that
does not sell into markets that want high priced custom vertical
applications is a little bit like trying to sell fuzzy dice to BMW owners.
