Interesting discussion of outlets in Cocoa vs Cocoa Touch

‘I almost always follow Apple’s lead on Cocoa and Cocoa Touch conventions. I figure that by the time outside developers like me see something for the first time, Apple engineers have been living with that thing for many months, so they’ve likely got a much better idea than I do about the best way to use that new thing.
But, after spending time with their stuff, sometimes — not often, but sometimes — I disagree with what appears to be Apple’s recommended “best practice” for doing something. I think I’ve come to the decision that the IBOutlet behavior in iOS is one of these areas.’
