Just like William I'd recommend Cocoa.
Indeed, there are some major hosts like Live that still do not
support Cocoa views - but it's like a chicken and an egg problem. If
there are not enough Cocoa plug-ins (although there are quite some,
including mine) then why should the host makers bother to add support
for them? But Carbon is getting older and older and we have to move
on. Cocoa is a much more modern technology, much easier to deal with
than Carbon (no matter if you're a newcomer or know Carbon already).
If you do not join the growing number of Cocoa plug-ins, we'll be
bound to live in 1990s...

Hi
I've been looking into adding a custom graphical UI to my AU. I
have limited knowledge of both Cocoa and Carbon.
The developer examples seem to focus more on Cocoa. However from
what I can gather a lot of commercial AU's use Carbon. I'm
wondering what the preferred API is? Going forward, should I be
focusing my efforts into learning Cocoa, it seems to have better
tool support in Xcode. Or for maximum compatibility with various
hosts (Logic, Garageband, Live, DP, STP) should I be providing a
purely Carbon UI? It's a little confusing. And if Carbon is the
"better" API, is their an SDK to make it easier?
I realize this is a rather vague and general question, my request
is more for opinions on the best way forward.
thanks
