Well, Carbon apps tend to run faster, easier to port from other OS's when your source is already in C++, and they support Mac technologies like aliases far more natively than Cocoa. On the flip side, Carbon apps can be less stable, don't have the Cocoa "for free" features, and are much harder to write.

What are the reasons why anybody would choose to right Carbon apps over Cocoa. Is it because Carbon works under OS 9 with CarbonLib? Or is it simply a matter of language
choice ie. Objective-C vs C++?

Why for instance are so many of Apples iApps written with the Carbon APIs?
