I'm completely flabberghasted by you saying that. Either
a) you're extremely ignorant of all of the benefits of Cocoa
b) you simply don't think REALbasic needs any of those benefits
c) or you know something the rest of us don't.
I don't know which is true.
One thing is for sure: I sure as hell am not going to go through the
hassle of calling objc runtime functions and hacking together support
for the simplest of things which would take literally less than a
minute to do if there was a Cocoa bridge and a new framework using it.
The things I do with Cocoa would take ages to do recreate or hack to
get in REALbasic. Assuming I could even figure out how to get it to
work. And then what's the point of doing it anyway? Just so I can
have garbage collection and simpler syntax? Everything I want to do
with apps is a lot harder to do with REALbasic right now which is why
I moved to Cocoa and have not used REALbasic for any new development
in _three years_ this March (and as a matter of fact, I only wrote
that app because you asked for it). If that's not a reason to get a
new framework (RS losing customers, that is), I don't know what is.
