My advice would be to focus on learning how to implement the core
features your clients need in WebObjects first. Then, if and when the
limitations of the Web browser as a thin client become an issue,
you'll be well-primed to explore the Cocoa frameworks within the
narrower context of providing a seamless, functional and ascetically
pleasing GUI atop said functionality. For that more specialized
purpose, Cocoa excels.
If the thin client becomes an issue, you also have he option of
developing a fatter client in Swing/Java, using WebObjects' JavaClient
technology. JavaClient makes the task of creating a GUI-based
application in Java easier than it might otherwise be, and moreover
allows you to implement as much of the business logic on the client
side as you wish.
Given the context of the original request, it should be pointed out
that whatever route someone takes, they should factor between six
months and a year to become sufficiently fluent in these technologies
to develop "the kinds of applications [sic.] [...] that the clients pay
10's or 100's of thousands of dollars for, and take 1-2 years to
develop."
