-the ability to say "Cocoa" in marketing literature; this will finally make those RB users that don't actually know what "Cocoa" means happy.

So, it is a "big show off", more than anyrhing.

Not at all. There are umpteen practical benefits from Cocoa.



Then, why loosing time and ressources with Cocoa? For those who want Cocoa, then use Cocoa,no?

For the reasons Charles listed, and because people, like me, that used REALbasic for Mac only apps, are switching from REALbasic to Cocoa directly because REALbasic just cannot keep up with Cocoa by reimplementing (often poorly) everything that's a standard feature in Cocoa.

Cocoa is leaps and bounds ahead of RB for Mac development. IMO it's almost laughable to use RB for a Mac-only app these days. (Don't get me wrong, it's not RS's fault.) Thankfully RS recognizes that RB is seriously missing out, and are on the path to close up the gap.
