I dislike this also. Cake really should have more than 1 model type:
DAOModel and DataModel.
One deals with database interactions, while the other manipulates a
dataset for the view.
However, there is nothing stopping you creating these extra models.
$this->set('data', new UserDataModel($this->User->find()));
