So, the final question is: should I create my project as a document-based
app in PB, or should I just have a normal application.

If the user is going to be creating, naming and saving sessions, configurations, profiles, whatever then yes, use NSDocument project.

Or If the app is going to allow multiple copies of the same window to be open, then use NSDocument project. The DocumentController will handle the creation and maintenance of the multiple windows using your NSDocument subclass. It does not necessarily have to save out to a "document" on disk.

If the user is not going to be creating, naming and saving sessions, configurations, profiles, whatever, and you don't need multiple windows, then don't use a NSDocument project- it might just get in your way.
