Hi there,

I actually do agree with you. It is very odd to have WebObjects

True - but to be fair, you can reasonably build such applications
using Xcode. It's just no longer recommended given their future
prognosis.
<snip good Xcode/Mac platform overview>
At the risk of starting another flame war, I'd love to see
WebObjects divorced from Java. I'd love to see Apple take their
old WebObjects Obj-C code base, enhance it to take full advantage
of Objective C 2.0, and make it feature compliant with WO 5.3.3.

In my opinion moving WebObjects from Obj-C to Java was one of the
best, and worst, decisions Apple has ever made regarding server-
side web application development. At the time it made a lot of
sense. Today, not so much. There is tremendous competition in the
Java web application space, and some are moving forward much faster
than WO. I don't know if they've really caught up with WO yet, but
at the current pace it won't be long until they do. It's hard to
stay ahead of the race when you're standing still.
Well, here's a thought: you could always get behind an open-source
project like GnuStepWeb...
