This is accidental, from the way the compiler translates "self.view" into "[self view]". Properties are just syntactic sugar. The documentation on the dot syntax explains this: <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ObjectiveC/Articles/chapter_2_section_3.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30001163-CH11-SW17> The sub-section on "Incorrect Use", also explains that you shouldn't use this syntax if it's not on a declared property (and NSViewController doesn't have any).
