The OP attributed the quality of code re-use to NSController
specifically as an argument for it, and I said that it was a moot
point because that quality is already understood to belong to all
properly designed OO classes.
But it often doesn't to controller classes, because they are typically
very task-specific (i.e. they are often where the application-specific
glue-code ends-up). I think it would be unfair to claim that such
classes were "not properly designed", although they are certainly not
generally intended to be widely re-used.
NSController is one attempt at creating a generic controller whose
behaviour can be customised without writing code, and on that basis
should be applauded as a worthwhile exercise. It might not be as good
as EOF, there might be problems with it, but it is potentially still a
good thing to have (I haven't used it enough yet to make my mind up as
to whether *I* like it, but I certainly like the *idea* of it).
Kind regards,
Alastair.
