Seth,
The support of Cocoa by RB, only means we will have native controls on
Mac OS created by RB?
Is it deeper than that?
Sorry again, but in everyday life of a RB developer, what is going to be
new in the IDE, the language of RB, will we use some of Apple
Developer's tools? Will we be using an Apple IDE to writte Mac apps with
RB's language?
Regards,
Youri

So, it is a "big show off", more than anyrhing.
Not at all. There are umpteen practical benefits from Cocoa.
Then, why loosing time and ressources with Cocoa? For those who want
Cocoa, then use Cocoa,no?
For the reasons Charles listed, and because people, like me, that used
REALbasic for Mac only apps, are switching from REALbasic to Cocoa
directly because REALbasic just cannot keep up with Cocoa by
reimplementing (often poorly) everything that's a standard feature in
Cocoa.
Cocoa is leaps and bounds ahead of RB for Mac development. IMO it's
almost laughable to use RB for a Mac-only app these days. (Don't get me
wrong, it's not RS's fault.) Thankfully RS recognizes that RB is
seriously missing out, and are on the path to close up the gap.
