Uses of Cocoa
Authored by: thelamecamel on Jul 03, '03 03:18:49AM

There are decent reasons to know whether or not a program is written in Cocoa.

Firstly, as mentioned in another hint, Services such as OmniDictionary only work for Cocoa programs. (otherwise you have to cut and paste the word you want to look up)

Secondly, there are programs like Cocoa Gestures that add functionality to Cocoa programs, but are not supported by Carbon. (Incidentally, whether or not the Cocoa Gestures item appears in the application's menu is another test for whether a program is Cocoa).
