[window setToolbar:] for example gives me an error saying that "window" wasn't declared....

try [[self window] setToolBar:]


If I try to declare a "window" outlet in my code and try to connect it in IB, I end up with 2 outlets named "window"...

You don’t want that :)

Of course the easy work around was to declare a new outlet that I named "mainWindow" and connected to my file owner, that way I can access the main window from my code...

Don’t fight the framework. If you think it feels wrong, it is.

but still I was wondering why it is not possible to access the "window" outlet that is created automatically with every new "Document Based" project...? What's the use of this outlet if I can't access it in my code?

An outlet can be an ivar. But his might be private to your superclass.
Always use [self ivar] to access them as someday someone might override the method.
In your example you could use
NSWindow *aWindow = [self window]
if you want to do use the window more than one line of code.
