I agree.

But as you originally noted, there's nothing stopping you from writing your
own coder subclasses that read and write a format you understand.

Nor is there anything stopping you from dropping in classes written by
someone else.  You could use
MAKeyedArchiver<http://www.mikeash.com/?page=software/source.html>.
 As long as the source is in your app, you control the format.
