I must say, just speaking for myself, nothing kills my motivation to help someone more than to hear this complaint.
Let's assume the absolute worst: that there is a flaw in Cocoa -- some egregious combination of poor design, bugginess, or inadequate documentation -- that is causing your particular problem. I can sympathize with being frustrated. I can sympathize with being angry at Apple (I'm not saying you are, but I could sympathize if you were, since I get angry at Apple sometimes too).
What I can't sympathize with is the inability to deal with foolish taunts from Windows coworkers, and the expectation that sharing this information will drive us all to try harder to rescue you. My feeling is, if you're so embarrassed to be a Cocoa developer, why not go to Windows? Then you can join the chorus of nyah-nyah's aimed at us poor suckers.

I haven't investigated your particular problem so I wouldn't have put it this way myself. But I did have a negative reaction with a similar gist. Again, just speaking for myself.
