At my previous job, we started doing that soon after I started. This was an
enormous app with, jeez, I forget, like 150 dialogs? There were 4 of us that
could do Mac dev, plus still keep up with normal release cycles. 3 years later,
all but 1 of those 4 were laid off because the new owner moved the company to
Colorado to be with his other bought-up company. In those 3 years, we made a
small dent in the Carbon->Cocoa, and that was only because 1 guy would work
nights and weekends coming up with ways to automate parts of the process.
We'd continually run into weird problems when trying to have Carbon and Cocoa
windows up at the same time. But that was quite a few major OS versions ago.
I'll just say it's not a fun process, especially when it's this many years
after the "Carbon is dead" announcement. My choice would be to do it as a
rewrite.
