In general I think the Apple tools are a great way to learn the
concepts of WO. They do a pretty good job of holding your hand and
hiding a lot of the complexity you don't need to deal with when just
learning Java and WO (similar to using the Finder instead of the
Terminal). This is doubly so for WOBuilder.
The long-term play is certainly Eclipse/WOLips for WO development,
but even then you have the ability to still use many of the Apple
tools in conjunction with WOLips.
