Are there any generic controller classes?

I'm reading the book Cocoa Programming, by Anguish,Buck and Yacktman. It was
written in 2002. In a section discussing MVC they say that M is mature since
there is a Foundation framwork and also that V is mature since there is the
AppKit framework. However C is not mature as it could be. Here's a small
quote.

If you are creating a document-centric application, then the various classes
surrounding the NSDocument class will provide much of the controller logic
you need. Sadly, in other parts of the controller layer, Cocoa does not yet
provide much help. … There is no generic "controller framework.... The lack
of a controller framework is one area that could stand improvement. Note
that Apple does have some generic controller objects that would help.

My question is if there has been any improving in this area the last 5 years
since the book was written.

Thanks Frank
