> From people with experience in both, UIKit is better designed than AppKit.

Debatable. AppKit might have a bunch of legacy cruft, but it also has some truly beautiful things like bindings, or how certain interface controls work. It's a much more mature framework.

Bindings (and KVO/KVC that support them) are magic-oriented programming that make me sad. One has to assume they very specifically didn't make the cut when iOS and UIKit were designed :P

Interesting, i found bindings only useful for the most basic of UI and not really worth the effort.
