Far as "everything else" means controller, it is pretty bad for you,
since with Objective C you could exploit bindings. That's something C++
cannot even think of, due to its lack of dynamic services. And it is an
*extremely* powerful technique, which can save hours and hours (and
with bigger projects days or months) of effort.
So, it seems the "everything else" somewhat shrunk to a model. All
right and well today, but I daresay even this option will become pretty
dull 29th this month, when models are able to be Core Data - based :))
And of course, although I can't know for sure, but judging from EOF I
bet Core Data exploit -- among others -- faults. That's another thing
you won't properly implement in C++, ever.
So I would actually recommend a completely different approach: go
Objective C completely, model, view, controller, at all. It is worth
it: including the time needed for learning, you'll have a killer app on
the market before a poor C++ user even begins debugging an alpha
release of his stuff :))
