I have noticed a lot of questions that are not so much about Cocoa as about programming in general. I also notice a lot of questions that are really C questions rather than Cocoa questions.

Is this a result of the fact that Cocoa is seen as approachable by non-programmers or is it the result of a culture shift in programming / education ?

I'd say it's a shift away from low level programming (and that's not always good) but it is most of the time.

I think it would go a long way for Cocoa to integrate an optional Garbage Collector (look at GnuStep how to do it) because it would allow it to view Cocoa from a much higher point of view. (optionally that is)

In my view exactly this is the biggest advantage of Obj-C and Cocoa over any other Language/Framework I know till today, it is so flexible that you can either view it as low-level as you like, but on the other hand are able to climb up to high-levels you won't ever reach with other languages/frameworks. And in this regard even Java falls short sometimes (though not at the garbage collector... ).
