I have an id object that I'd like to test to see if it's a certain class or a subclass of that class. isKindOfClass gives a very specific test, is there an easy way to test for an object being a subclass of a class?

That's exactly what -isKindOfClass: gives you.  From the docs:

"Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the receiver is an instance of given class or an instance of any class that inherits from that class."

Notice the last phrase. Also note the warning that the docs give about using this on a class cluster.

-isMemberOfClass: is what you initially describe.
