For me, I agree this is standard stuff. If you are writing this stuff everyday, this block song and dance is basically taken care of with muscle memory.
Part of my job involves working with people from other companies who aren't as strong with objective-c. There are a lot of people that have trouble blocks for whatever reasons. I recently had a guy from another company act almost surprised that we were using "advanced features like blocks". We were a little shocked. But it just shows that not everyone is comfortable with them.
BUT, I think a better approach from the author wouldn't be to tell people not to use blocks w/ NSNotificationCenter but to make sure they know the in and outs of blocks, because blocks are amazingly powerful tools and they aren't going anywhere.
