I highly doubt that there are any projects that aren't being done in
Cocoa simply because Project Builder doesn't include Visual
Studio-like code completion.
Cocoa is so productive an environment that even if we were stuck using
plain TextEdit (or vi for that matter) it would *still* beat other
frameworks for productivity.
(Honestly, I would seriously doubt the competence of anyone for whom
lack of code completion prevents them from productive with Cocoa.)
Are custom vertical applications being written with Cocoa ? (sounds
like the answer is mostly no)
You can't treat lack of an affirmative response as a negative
response. It could be that people aren't answering this question or
can't answer it for whatever reason. Or perhaps the people working on
such projects aren't reading the mailing list.

My comments were an attempt to head off the discussion in this thread
to date and not any conclusion or prediction. When I first asked these
questions, the thread spun off regarding lack of Cocoa style database
access and a very assertive complaint about the lack of code
completion. I certainly never missed code completion in PB, but that
is the way the thread went.
I know that often people can't talk about their projects. However, if
there are any stories that can be told, I would like to hear them :)
Just today there was a post about two new vertical applications being
planned. This is good news and reinforces the already good sign that
there seems to be a lot of people joining this forum.
So, what are you all doing ?
