PortAuthority is written in Tcl/Tk, precisely because I don't like using 
Cocoa for application development. I'm one of the core maintainers of Tk 
on the Mac, which does require knowledge of Cocoa--in addition to 
maintaining Tk ittself I've also written a lot of open-source libraries 
to hook Tcl/Tk into various parts of the Cocoa API--but I really dislike 
Xcode and its model of development. I'm an Aquamacs/Terminal type of 
developer, thanks. :-)
