MY boss is asking me to to justify my desire to rewrite our
Carbon/PowerPlant app in Cocoa. I've seen enough of Cocoa to know that this
is probably the best move I can make. Right now I'm stuck with PowerPlant
(the original), and it's now dead. So either I should port to PowerPlant X
(which is a huge port because PowerPlant X is radically different from the
original), or I spend that time delving into Cocoa. I believe the Cocoa API
is richer by far than PowerPlant X could hope to be, though PowerPlant X
does look excellent for anyone who wants to stay in the Carbon API.
Our application isn't really all that large, and I know every single line of
it, since I've written the whole thing, so I suspect that rewriting in Cocoa
wouldn't really be that hard once I know Cocoa. Given that, I wonder: 1. Am
I making the right decision to rewrite in Cocoa, and 2. If so, would any of
you be willing to just sketch out a few highlighted points about what I
would stand to gain by doing so? Personally I see it as the right move,
because Cocoa apps have a great look and feel, and it seems that it's the
richest framework out there. But I would like to give my boss some
justifications, and frankly I'm not knowledgeable enough to really make the
best points (if there are any). Thanks in advance.
