So you don't think the following quote from the cited page is an
advertisement ?:
<Quote>
The fact is that while Cocoa provides a richer set of functions than
Carbon, REALbasic provides you with a far richer set of
functions than Cocoa does. Writing an application in
REALbasic takes far less time and is far easier to
accomplish for the typical user than it would be in Cocoa.
And applications written in REALbasic can run on Mac OS 8,
Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, and Windows 95 through Windows XP. Don't
just take our word for it, you can convince yourself. Download the
Objective-C tutorial (in which you create a currency
calculator) from Apple's web site. Now create the same
currency calculator in REALbasic. With that exercise, you
will convince yourself.

I would further add that IMHO the author is clearly out of his mind if
he thinks what he says is true for "real" applications and not just
toys.
