I just can't get by without garbage collection anymore ... and I believe Cocoa is still using reference counting. I don’t have a Mac, but I did use to code nEXtStEp (4.0).

I use carbon calls all the time in my cocoa apps, you just can't get by without it and it really isn't all that bad. But if I ever had to do a 100% carbon app (making windows and handling events the carbon way) I think I'd shoot myself. Maybe it isn't that Carbon is "bad", it's just that Cocoa is so good.
