I thought I had used the remote debugger with iOS development before. I
just add a "debugger" line to the script and the debugger opens up. Perhaps
I'm misremembering though. What is it that doesn't work?

Behaviors and script only stacks can lead to confusing designs if not
organized thoughtfully. My feeling is that either approach can lead to a
confusing architecture though. Whether you use all binary stacks or you mix
in script only stacks, a lot of it comes down to organization and the
ability to browse based on organization.
