Actually, the only reason I mentioned MFC (and Java for that matter) is
purely for comparison with Cocoa. I'm not at all interested in
developing for Windows or even cross-platform app; I just want to learn
Cocoa. As a newcomer to the list (and to application development), I
apologize for posting such a naive question. In any case, many thanks
to those who responded; your comments have been helpful.

Hi,
I was wondering, since you mentioned MFC, if you aren't perhaps
looking for some kind of cross platform toolkit? There are a couple,
but since you're acquainted with C++ it seems, you might be interested
to know that Trolltech's Qt frameworks (used by KDE on Linux) are
available for both Windows and MacOSX as well as Linux.

I'm a newcomer to Cocoa and to development frameworks in general. I
chose Cocoa because I've heard lots of great things about it, but I
still don't understand why it is superior to other development
frameworks like PowerPlant, MacApp, or even MFC and Java's own
framework. Since I've not had any experience with any of these
frameworks, I'm looking for a thorough and complete explanation that
even a novice like me can understand. I want to know the major ways
Cocoa is different from all the other frameworks on the market, and
why those differences make Cocoa a better environment to develop in.
By the same token, if there's any part of Cocoa that's inferior to
some of these other frameworks, I like to know about them as well. I
hope this knowledge will increase my understanding and appreciation
of Cocoa. Thanks in advance for those who respond.
