If you mean: 'should I use bindings or not'? I say: do use bindings.
They can eliminate a lot of glue code. Also, they make it relatively
easy to add features like smart enabling/disabling of buttons, which is
very nice.

It is true that that you have to design your app with bindings in mind.
It is also true that IB could be smarter about key paths. It could do a
better job at remembering the available key paths, and possibly even
find out which ones are available. On the other hand, maintaining
bindings has become easier under Xcode 3; the refactoring tool will
change your bindings' key paths in the nibs if you change the name of an
ivar/accessor.
