Pardon me? Cocoa did perfectly fine for over a decade having this be the *only* way to do things. Bindings only came about in 10.3, practically yesterday. And some of us still aren't too convinced about their ultimate utility either. In any case, directly manipulating the user interface, while perhaps not as shiny and new as bindings, is *definitely* "Cocoa-like".
