I defer to the experts. But for me view-based tables no longer work 'as expected’ (how they worked with cell-based tables). That is, one now has to explicitly add constraints in order to get the text in cells to widen and shrink properly as the user widens and shrinks column headers. To me, a non expert, this is disconcerting when first encountered, and seems sloppy, and like something overlooked. It is just one more of thousands of little irksome details that I must fight may way through to learning in order to get a good looking Mac app. But thanks to this list I can add constraints in order to get that expected behavior.
