I know you addressed your question to Shane, but speaking for myself: I'm 
writing a new application, which will require Mavericks or newer. I'm 
deliberately using all the latest Cocoa technology because that's the best way 
for me to learn it. (I didn't use bindings because I wanted to understand what 
methods were needed under the hood. I didn't use NSTreeController because I 
quickly discovered that the few tree-like things a source list needs to do are 
more easily done without NSTreeController.)

Also, specifically with respect to source lists and the custom features I'm 
implementing, there are some things you can't do with a cell-based outline. I 
don't recall what those things are, but they are called out in the appropriate 
reference documents.
