I’ve been using BRDocBase fine in development for a few weeks. While it’s nowhere near complete, I haven’t had any real need for new features or performance improvement for my modest needs until now. more »

If I want to generic apply the category, I have to put it on NSObject (and then the methods are almost certainly available on classes I don’t really care about). Sometimes it would be nicer if I could choose individual classes that the methods are added to. This is done often in Ruby through the use of modules. more »

Right now, it’s serving well enough for development purposes in my application and I don’t want add features that end up being unneeded. However I did run into another issue that I thought was general enough to be talked about: enumerations. more »
