UIKit always felt like a grown up version of Cocoa to me. Whenever I go back to writing Mac apps, I wish it was more like iOS development.

Microsoft is now making it possible to turn iOS apps into desktop apps (as well as phone and tablet apps) which is actually pretty interesting.

It won't help as much for porting your current mac desktop app, but it certainly is an interesting idea.

Funny..to me it always feels like Cocoa's slightly disabled kid brother. Curious, what makes it feel "grown up" to you?

It's been awhile since I've done Cocoa, so the specifics are a bit fuzzy. Stuff like CGRectMake makes more sense than NSMakeRect.

I also enjoy the pre made view controllers.
