If you are editing a list of objects, using a NSTableView, then one reason why you might not want to create temporary objects in the main context is that those objects get displayed in the NSTableView, even though you might not want them to be visible until the editing is finished. If you work with the trick of using a secondary context for editing, then you have to manage the copying of property values to/from the temporary object, including relationships, which have to be resolved from the original context. Which is why I use a temporary dictionary, because it allows me to freely interact with the property values, including relationships, without the need to work with a secondary context, as well as not affecting any UI components that might be displaying the original list.
