So, let me respond jointly to all of the comments similar to this.

Of course bindings haven’t “died”, in the sense that no one *uses* them any 
more. My point was that bindings, as a conceptual software design paradigm or 
implementation framework for the general presentation or handling of data, 
don’t have much significance any more. We don’t sit down and *design* bindings 
for our apps, typically. We just bind things together when their values need to 
track each other. This should be understood as a simplification, not a denial 
that some people still get into them more deeply.

Consider also that there have been no functional improvements made to bindings 
since 10.5 (at least, I can’t think of even one), and that bindings were *not* 
taken over to iOS in 2008.

Of course, this is no rejection of KVO, which remains essential and creatively 
productive, despite being mechanically outdated.
