The commonality of this experience makes me wonder almost with everything I try to do in Cocoa whether it really IS true as advertised that the pre-written APIs make it easier than writing your own raw code all the way down in C and Obj-C or whether the whole Cocoa edifice has turned into such a monster that for anyone except the seasoned expert, quite the reverse is true.

It’s certainly seemed the case to me that I would have probably spent less time just writing my own code from scratch than I spend trying to figure out how half the methods I’m trying to use should be implemented. Of course, I always give in to Cocoa on the grounds that I figure I must be being stupid and missing the obvious and/or it’s inevitable that I’ll have to learn how to do it ‘the Cocoa way’ in the end.

Still, you can’t help wondering… ;)
