Subclassing in Cocoa generally is not the preferred solution. 
isEditable is just the getter accessor; setEditable is the setter (for
table columns anyway).  If you have a setter, why would you go to the
trouble of subclassing just to set the value?

If a method is intended to be overridden by subclasses, the docs say
so, e.g., -[NSCoder containsValueForKey:]
