Well, depending on the task I often build those "toys" in RealBasic -
with the option to create an Windows variant for "the rest of the
company".
The biggest lack we have seen in Cocoa is database access. With
NSXMLParser, I have had good luck getting to XML files, but databases
are a royal pain. With Java, we have many good OO database toolkits
- Hibernate, Cayenne, our own homegrown one, and the raw JDBC access
provided at the language layer, and they work like a dream. Since
EOF left, Cocoa lacks this support.
So what? Fire up an Java Database layer either by JNI invocation
(some pain) or the Cocoa<->Java bridge (easy, but deprecated).
