There aren't all that many options for writing OSX software:

1. Carbon apps, most likely using CodeWarrior (or MPW)
2. Cocoa apps, probably using the dev tools that came with OSX (still
sitting unopened somewhere on my desk)
3. RealBasic

Might be some other minor options.

I can't see the purpose of developing a Cocoa app at this point, you're
ignoring the vast majority of Mac users who don't yet have OSX. Indeed, it
is still prudent to develop both Carbon and Classic builds of your app if
possible, since some folks aren't running 8.6 or later.
