What we may loose is access to the toolbox stuff - particularly all the interface 
bits and pieces.

In FBtoC I assume we are linking to the Carbon Framework etc. In Xcode 3 the 
framework is still there.

I guess the question for the future is: Could one construct a scheme linking 
against the Cocoa framework? I cant see how but there are brighter people than 
me out there.

Quote from current talk "Cocoa is the future" HIToolbox post leopard no 
changes other than bug fixes. Can use things like HICocoaView.

Better go...
