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 Carbon is still extremely useful, but I understand that the UI section has been superseded by AppKit.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part of Carbon, but I don't imagine the UI will be getting all the updates that AppKit will get, making most of it outdated.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.
