I understand how some decisions in NeXTStep ended up there: Young brash programmers thinking they're doing amazing things by pushing the envelope. I do not understand why some of those flaws ended up carried over into Mac Cocoa. And I hate NSSplitView with a white hot passion.

having just wrestled with NSSplitView and NSSplitViewController, it has always been a flaming hot mess. I don't know if RBSplitView is still updated, but it was the go-to fixer for the built-in split view.

Oooh, good to know! We're *this* close to writing our own, but we're also looking at business direction, and Apple may not be in the cards for the next iteration here.
It wouldn't be so bad if Apple didn't blow chunks about multiple calls to
layoutSubtreeIfNeeded. I mean, it'd still suck, but less.
