The Animation Overview book has a chapter that contrasts the
differences in the two approaches.

One question I have that maybe this list can help me understand. If
you have views that are layer backed - why would one use any of the
view methods instead of the layer methods? I have to admit in some
ways I am somewhat perplexed why a CALayer doesn't replace the view
itself completely. This is an area I have not yet had to delve into
in the docs too much there, but what I have read it doesn't really
explain much about the perceived dichotomy.
I would love an eye-opener description here :) And for me its a
Leopard/iPhone only world if that makes a difference.

When I was but a newbie,
I heard a wise man say,
"When using CALayers,
Put NSViews away."
Yet I set a CALayer,
Then added NSView;
Now many hours later,
I wail, "T'is true, t'is true!"
