From what I've seen in it, Objective-Basic is an attempt at one-to-

doesn't offer anything else. Where RealBasic offers a great IDE,
and cross-platform API -- Objective-Basic offers only a Basic-like
Objective-C.
So why not just learn Objective-C and skip the middle man?
We are talking about using RB for Mac applications. Cross-platform is
out of discussion here and, if a developer need it, RB is surely one
of the best choices if not the best.
About Objective-Basic, I'm not an advocate of this tool, however it's
getting better at every release. While the inital builds were bare
one-to-one translations of Obj-C to basic, the last build seems to
offer an higher level API. The IDE needs some more work, but for the
GUI part uses Interface Builder as Xcode.
I agree that skipping the middle man is a better choice, but
sometimes an easy approach can help. And this is the case of mony RB
developers.
