I'm getting lost as to whether your main objection is about Apple not
providing anything other than Objective-C / Cocoa to develop apps on
the Mac, or whether it's just that you think their documentation could
be improved.
If it's the former, I don't particularly see that your opinion
matters; any more than mine would matter if I wanted to use Cocoa on
Windows. (Unless of course you are a shareholder and you think that
this decision is having a tangible negative impact on the company's
value, but I don't think that's the basis of your argument.)
If it's the latter, would it satisfy you if, say, Apple made a book
such as Hillegaas' available online, for free?
