A lot of Cocoa devs will go through extraordinary lengths just to avoid Carbon. And it doesn't matter to them that their "solution" just calls the Carbon APIs underneath it ;-).

Yes, I don't get it. Carbon is more low-level, and of course it's not wrapped in nice ObjC objects, but I've often found that, to achieve certain goals, I just had to drop down to Carbon. Usually I just write a wrapper object around my Carbon code, or a function that hides away all the Carbon data types and only takes and gives Cocoa types, and then I don't have to look at the Carbon code anymore.

E.g. when I have to work with the file system (file lists, file icons) the Cocoa NSWorkspace/NSFileManager methods currently are abysmally slow. So I rolled my own, and my app performs just fine. They're even mostly API-compatible with the Cocoa stuff. No problem there.
