NSController is very useful for this.
I'm sorry but that is specious, since writing less code is an attribute
of OOP itself, if you use it right. NSController is just another class,
which is either written well or written poorly. If the savings in
NSController are so magical, I suspect that any good Cocoa developer
has already abstracted similar functionality. Apple does not have a
monopoly on software engineering principles, whether they built the OS
or no.
What you are really saying is that it saves lazy programmers the work
of doing their own software engineering. Just think how much coding I
would not have to do if I were not a programmer at all!
