why is this default interface for managed objects something that is
dictionary-oriented instead of object-oriented?
The definition of object-oriented or object appears to be (and is) a
rather subjective thing... having accessors can been seen as exposing
what is in an object which some consider to be very much unobject like
(one very small step from a structure, yeah yeah I know you inject
logic in accessor, etc. so they don't really have to expose the
internals) similar things can be said about NSManagedObjects interface,
and on and on.
So I think this side of the discussion is pedantic... it is better to
say you prefer a particular style of interface to your model data and
leave the talk of object-oriented, objects, and messages out of it...
since NSManagedObject is an object in the Objective-C sense, it
encapsulates data, it supports messaging to get at this data, etc.
...basically avoid terms that are broad in meaning and/or
interpretation.
