Coming to Cocoa dev from the web all of the direct manipulation in objective C of styling seems like mayhem. I’m not very far in, but already the giant amount of searching and replacing required to change all the corner radii in an app is crazy.
For me it seems obvious that this stuff should be /declared/ in one place, with all other styling mechanism, not littered through dozens of classes that are primarily interested in getting things done, not looking pretty.
Of course I’m a new at this - and everyone seems to think the other way is better… So maybe I’ll come around with time, but right now Pixate seems like a great idea.
