IKImageBrowserView was soft deprecated in 10.12 actually. ‘soft’ deprecation
means that it is in maintenance mode and will be removed completely in a future
release. When that will be is TBD, but typically it’s at least 3 to 4 releases
before it is pulled to give developers time to transition to whatever the new
hotness is.
re-NSCollectionView: Yes it had its problems when it first came out. It did
seem like it was a little rushed and lacked some polish but is leaps and bounds
better in 10.12 & newer. It is what Finder uses for it’s Icon View style and
in Preview’s thumbnail view. Seems to work pretty well, IMO.
