I think it is somewhat biased towards Carbon, since RealBasic is based
on Carbon.
It also does not discuss the differences between _programming_ in Cocoa
versus in Carbon, since it is oriented around RealBasic. The greatest
advantages in Cocoa are in the development environment, the language
and the API. Real obviously has no interest in making Cocoa look good.

...but be advised of two things:
1) While mostly accurate, it does contain some glaring inaccuracies
(e.g. Cocoa applications can't access all carbon functionality)
2) It is a sales pitch for (i.e. propaganda) for RealBasic and the
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.
