Re:I've used Cocoa, .NET and C++/MFC (Score 1)

Yep, you're quite right. Xcode 2.1 does create a 104Kb executable. A debug executable. Try the release build style; it's 56Kb, of which 20Kb is binary. And performClose: works fine as it closes the active window whereas terminate: closes the app. You say your "professional" Cocoa experiance was at Apple. Was that on Aperture's RAW converters ? I wish I could get your contracting gigs...
