Jeff, given the many good points you've made that made perfect sense
to me, the phrase "lowering the barriers to entry" struck me as
strange when you used it in an earlier message.
There's already an inherent lower bound on the barrier to entry for
Cocoa. You have to understand certain fundamentals -- some
conceptual, some procedural. If you don't have those fundamentals,
you'll never make Cocoa work. There is also a set of people on this
planet who are trying to grasp those fundamentals and are perfectly
capable of doing so. To argue that it's better for the platform if
those people take a little longer to become proficient at Cocoa seems
to me a bit odd.
