I think if RS looked to Cocoa (maybe they are?), they'd find some really good ideas that could be used in REALbasic.

I think they will be forced to eventually as Carbon is not Apple's development direction anymore.

That's not correct. Almost everything Apple adds to its operating system is exposed in both APIs. Both Charles Yeomans and I have made declaring into Objective-C work, but we both faced the same dilemma: what can you actually accomplish that you couldn't in Carbon? (Hence the thread: <http://www.realsoftware.com/listarchives/realbasic-nug/2004-07/ msg01400.html>)

There are basically very few items that aren't available in both APIs. There are items that Cocoa users must use the Carbon framework for, just as there are a few items that Carbon users must write Objective-C wrappers for.
