Please be specific; general statements like "X is terrible" don't help us know what you are wanting to know. A better thing would be to say "I don't understand how to begin editing in NSOutlineView.." or "it took me a long time to figure out XX, and it should be documented".
Yes, I know. But Gordon already said the specific thing: "there is no documentation on [view-based outline views], zero, zip, nada, zilch".
This isn't just about programming guides. The delegate method 'outlineView:viewForTableColumn:item:' isn't even mentioned in the NSOutlineViewDelegate protocol reference documentation. Zero, zip, nada, zilch.
Under the circumstances, I think it's a little hilarious to be asked to meticulously bug-report what will "'help us know what you are wanting to know".
