Apple says:  for new developments, use Cocoa.  I second that advice.

Who says?  This is patently false.

Completely untrue.

No.  It wasn't really true, ever, but it is still true that you can't
really take advantage of Cocoa *from* C++.  However, you can access
model-code written in C++ from Cocoa/Objective-C without problems.

False again, who says?

You're not using the term correctly...
