The guy doesn't get MVC *AT ALL*.
Which means he doesn't' get what the benefits are, nor will he
understand why it can't be as "smash it all together" as VB and other
such things would make it.
It doesn't matter to him, it would seem, that code would end up
prematurely brittle.
He sat down thinking that he could download 300MB (he complains about
its size? what???), grab a "Cocoa for Dummies" book and be off writing
something good without even understanding the nuances of the Macintosh
approach to user experience.
That disqualified him as any authority for me right off the bat.

Here's a disturbing, but interesting, article that is of interest to
the Cocoa developer community (link at the bottom).
Instead of flame-type responses on this list (or to the article's
author), let's try to keep any responses constructive. It would be
interesting to hear developers having similar experiences to the
article's author, developers with cross platform development
experience, and other developers offering constructive (not reactive)
responses, if any.
Some of the points this guy makes are clearly off the mark, while
others are valid criticism and as a community it would be nice to
understand what those issues are and how to address them since it
benefits everyone on this mailing list to have more developers using
and happy with Cocoa, Project Builder, and the Mac in general.
Again, think constructive response...
