Hear hear! It is really exciting to be able to get the Cocoa frameworks
and OS X dev tools basically for Free!

The depth and richness of the Cocoa frameworks is amazing. It's drawn me
over to developing Cocoa apps. And I have experience with Java,
REALBasic, Perl, Python, PHP and C++. All fine languages for their
purpose but none have the rich framework like Cocoa!
