If you want to use OpenGL for your GUI, that's always an option, but
again you're on your own here. Cocoa provides very little support for
this (outside of the generic NSOpenGLView).
Honestly I think most people don't appreciate how much stuff you get
"for free" in Cocoa, but you learn pretty fast when you get to
reimplement it yourself! :)

still need to learn the detailed basics. But what of using opengl for
the gui then? The Blender app utilizes this to the effect.

No. This is largely because Mac applications are supposed to have a
consistent user interface. You can read more about this in the Apple
Human Interface Guidelines:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/
If you want controls with a custom look you have to modify or replace
the existing controls.

You could make your application window contain one big WebKit view and
make your application a hybrid web/Cocoa application. It would be more
complex than a standard Cocoa app though.
