Most of us see the alloc init pattern when learning from example
code for a quick feature demo. For purposes of brevity, example code
is never meant to demonstrate error handling, much like I don't
expect to see MyClass in shipping source.
The reason for the alloc/init idiom is to avoid this easy-to-make
mistake:
MyClass *myObject = [MyClass alloc];
[myObject init];
I don't mean this as an answer to the larger question about nil-
messaging, but to point out that this is an explicitly recommended
idiom, not just a way for the authors of the examples to save a few
keystrokes.
