Masterclass: KVC magic tricks
KVO is very, very dangerous. No matter how skillful you believe to be, strive to avoid it as much as you can.
If you really need KVO, then use Facebook’s KVOController. Don’t ever attempt to write the required code on your own. Just look at the source code of this Facebook’s bag of voodoo if you need reasons.
Don’t ever use KVO to monitor changes in Core Data objects.
Core Data change propagation is another bag of voodoo and you don’t want to meddle there. If you need such functionality, use NSManagedObjectContextObjectsDidChangeNotification instead.
