To lay the groundwork for this question, I'm going to state that I'm getting my definitions for MVC, MVP, and Passive View from the following:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-view-controller
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_View_Presenter
http://www.martinfowler.com/eaaDev/PassiveScreen.html
Apple has always stated that it uses the MVC design pattern, but I noticed in OS X 10.5 we've gotten NSViewController, KVO, bindings, etc., objects that seem to behave more like the Passive View design pattern. Is this where Apple wants us to head? I want to plan out my code in a manner that plays as well as possible with Apple's chosen design patterns, which is why I want to know where Apple is headed.
Thanks,
Cem Karan
