I didn't notice any issues in xCode because these methods are the norm with ObjC but coming back to Rev it becomes clear very quickly that things don't 'look' right and I could not shake the feeling that my coding seemed unnecessarily more complex. After compressing my methods and shortening my method names things now 'look' more normal and cleaner too.
I am going back to ObjC this week. I wonder if this issue will appear there as well.
