Re: MVC and thread-safety

Chris,

I don't think that having one thread (the main thread) dispatch all
actions in an application is a very good design, especially given that
all UI things happen in this thread, and it's not always available. 
Surely, there has to be a better design than this.

Apple needs to fix Cocoa and make it more thread-safe, describing
expected behaviors.

That's my opinion, anyway.  Sending NSEvents from background threads to
the main thread when the main thread cannot be guaranteed to respond to
them in any known period of time (and I'm not even asking for "real
time") is not acceptable.

Thanks,
Steve
