-I've heard a lot about ReactiveCocoa recently, but I haven't had a chance to try it. Maybe I should. And maybe I will!

- I'm super guilty of just handling everything in AppDelegate (notifications, URI schemes, etc.) I need to work on this.

- CocoaPods are the greatest

Build some stuff with Reactive Cocoa before you jump on that bandwagon. It pollutes the stack of everything it touches and its not very useful unless you use it pervasively...

I agree completely. Its use case is highly specialized and all it does is make a bunch of code nicely split up into methods and crams it into fewer methods with a ton of blocks. Even the example of "before" and "after" on the github page shows that how complicated it makes things look.
