Cocoa and Carbon APIs give developers access to the advanced features of Mac
OS X. Object-oriented Cocoa enables rapid development of Mac OS X
applications. Carbon combines earlier Mac OS compatibility with native
functionality on Mac OS X.
So those who are making a new app in X want to use Cocoa but the others that
are porting existing code to be X compatible use Carbon.
In theory, Carbon apps can run on both Mac OS 8, 9 and X but like Dan has
explanied that is not always possible.
AppleWorks 6 is an exapmple of an app hat is written in Carbon and runs on
both 9 and X.
Most if not all the apps that came from Next are built on Cocoa.
Ported apps like Internet Explorer 5 and the next version of Office are
Carbon.
