Jeez! When did I say that I wanted to put things "beyond the reach
of 'defaults'"?!
I'm saying that in the 99% case, it's irrelevant. I didn't say
"nobody should ever use defaults" or "we should get rid of
defaults" or anything of the sort. There's a 1% case where defaults
is super useful... I agree wholeheartedly. If you use defaults and
think it's the best thing since sliced bread, that's cool. Nobody
is planning on taking that away from you. Certainly it's outside of
my reach ;)
There are a lot of great reasons to use NSUserDefaults. I posted
them earlier. IMHO, some of these are cooler reasons than the
defaults command line tool. That's ALL I'm trying to say.
OK, I'm sorry :)
I guess I just have a low tolerance to (perceived!) developer
arrogance just now.
