It seems to me that NSTextView can do everything that NSTextField can and more. For example, on a NSTextView, one can use the method setHorizontallyResizable: and then call sizeToFit to get it to resize itself vertically instead of horizontally.
Is this correct? If so and if I am programmatically creating one of these controls, is there any reason why I would want to use a NSTextField? (I know that IB uses a NSTextField for Labels, for example...is this just a historical artifact?) If not, what are the key differences between them that would cause me to want to use a NSTextField? Would it basically come down to whether or not I need more then a single line of text or not...NSTextField seems to be optimized for single lines of text, but one can still get the same behavior out of a NSTextView with a bit more work. Now, I know that NSTextFieldCell is commonly used as a superclass for one's own cell based stuff, but I would consider that as separate from the issue of NSTextField vs NSTextView.
