Not even close!
Cocoa is JUST an API set and Framework, just like Carbon -- just
like Java -- just like REALbasic.
The only thing "special" about Cocoa is that Apple is promoting it
as the *preferred* API set and framework. There is nothing
"magical" about Cocoa, it makes easy things easy, medium things
not too difficult, and some things nearly impossible.
It's special in that it's the one Apple has said they encourage
developers to use.
That's a clue that at some point Carbon will be deprecated just as
Cocoa for Java has been.
Just like they recommended you switch to XCode some time ago
Trying to put it in terms a Windows user would relate to it's like
saying you do or do not support Vista
More like you do or do not support MFC (which Microsoft is,
incidentally, putting in the same category as Apple has put Carbon).
