purpose of the article is to explain why RealBasic is better than both
Carbon and Cocoa, which skews the data.
Number two is inaccurate. It was written to explain that Cocoa and
Carbon are coequals that access the same underlying functionality (Core
Foundation). And that applications written using Carbon offer
essentially the same capabilities as those written in Cocoa (granted
you'll have to write a lot more code in Carbon to get that
functionality).
REALbasic is not advertised as being better than Carbon, because
REALbasic *is* a Carbon-based development environment, and as such,
their paths are linked.
