The NSViewController documentation does a good job. The Overview 
section outlines three things that the NSViewController will handle 
for you.

I have not used the NSViewController in my project. But I think it is 
mostly useful when you want to load a (custom) view from a NIB/XIB 
file and hook it up to a bindings enabled data source.

For me the class reference is a bit dry. I would love to read more in 
the style of WHY you would want to use a certain class. A more 
pragmatic 'recipe' style documentation.
