The 'Intel' version is build using the 'Carbon' framework, which was originally made back in the days when Mac OS X was still new, people where switching between 'classic' mac and 'OS X', and still needed a framework that would work on both versions, for as far as i've understood, and Cocoa is Mac OS X's native framework, while there are already talks about Mac OS X dropping carbon altogether eventually, Cocoa has Apple's full support.
And Cocoa comes with a lot of pro's, such as a speed bump, better multi-tasking and OS support for things such as spell-check, speech and other nice things, such as the ability to display in native retina resolution.
However, my development environment doesn't yet fully support the Cocoa framework, as such it comes with some bugs attached, the biggest of which is that it can nom up all your RAMz while doing a batch command such as 'fetch missing metadata', and there are a few other oddities.
There may be a few connection issues, try again later?
