As you say, the frameworks don't directly translate to Cocoa methods. So why bother keeping the C-style functions like the CG... set (CGMakeRect, etc)? People have complained about having to use Carbon and similar frameworks on the Mac, so why not use Objective-J for everything given the chance?
It'll be interesting to see if the language and frameworks evolve, or keep along the same lines as Cocoa.
