I am curious how other people perceive the state or rate of Cocoa
adoption. I think the more Cocoa software the better :)
The Omni apps are all Cocoa except for game ports. Omni is a former
NeXT developer so hardly a new adopter.
The Stone Design apps are all Cocoa. Stone Design is a former NeXT
developer.
Illuminex games are Cocoa, and also former NeXT.
The recently departed TIFFany was Cocoa. This was also a NeXT
application.
There are lots of Cocoa applications in Softrak, Aquafiles, and
VersionTracker. Most are useful, but the apps seem to either be thin
GUIs on non-Cocoa tools or tiny little hobby applications (not that
there is anything wrong with that).
Apple is producing lots of Cocoa applications!
There has been a real ground swell of newbie activity in the Cocoa
related mailing lists. I interpret that as a good sign for the long
term :)
How much is Cocoa really being adopted and used right now:
How many people are working on freeware, shareware, or traditional
commercial Cocoa software ?
Are custom vertical applications being written with Cocoa ?
Are games being written with Cocoa ?
What are the obstacles to using Cocoa for new projects ?
Are there any substantial new projects or is the who Mac OS X software
field too mature and or stagnant for substantial new projects ?
Can I expect the new paradigm shifting killer-app to be a Cocoa
application ?
