I have seen that version of the MVC pattern a lot where the View and Model are directly connected sometimes only one way, never really understood how it was supposed to work, my understanding is that with cocoa the model and view where never directly connected to each and it was the purpose of the controller classes act as an interface between the two, I guess the controller acts as a presenter and a controller.

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
