We know that Cocoa strongly suggests using setFoo and foo for setters
and getters.

Sometimes I see setters and getters using the idiom setFoo and isFoo.
For example, in NSToolbar, you have setVisible and isVisible.

When the getter returns a BOOL, is "is" the preferred prefix?

Side question: do KVC and KVO still work when the getter is prefixed with "is" ?

Yes, as I. Savant already pointed out. Moreover, if "is" broke KVC and KVO, it would be actively discouraged and you probably wouldn't see it in Apple's classes.

Cheers,
Ken
