As for not using Carbon I suppose there's no reason I can't use

learning Cocoa I was trying to avoid it if I could. But if it's the
best way I can use it...
Carbon is an overloaded term, it means many things all at once.
Finder's Carbon->Cocoa transition refers, I think, mostly to its UI
implementation.
And would be the only reason people should be interested. Carbon is
still extremely useful, but I understand that the UI section has been
superseded by AppKit. There's nothing wrong with the non-UI part of
Carbon, but I don't imagine the UI will be getting all the updates
that AppKit will get, making most of it outdated. It's already
started: the Carbon UI is not 64-bit, but the rest of Carbon is. It's
important to understand that Carbon isn't a bad thing to use in a
Cocoa app if it makes things easier.
I say you should dip in to Carbon if it helps, but if there's a Cocoa
way to do the same thing, that's probably preferred.
