I'm a total newcomer to Sproutcore. I've worked through a few of their tutorials but now I'm out running through a new app from scratch. Like all explorations into new technology there are always those gotchas that take hours to resolve. As Sproutcore is relatively new, there's not a lot of info on the web about these common gotchas, so I'm planning to document as many of them as possible here.

The first one that killed me today was using the SplitView.
