Here are the key reasons for using NSOperationQueue vs GCD (Grand Central Dispatch) and vice versa:

NSOperationQueue Advantages

• Provides an object-oriented API that allows you to create and manage operations as first-class objects. This makes it easier to configure, prioritize, and manage dependencies between operations.

• Allows you to cancel, suspend, and resume individual operations within the queue. With GCD, you can only cancel or suspend an entire queue.

• Provides built-in support for operation dependencies, allowing you to specify that one operation must complete before another can start. GCD requires more manual coordination.

• Supports operation priorities to control the order in which operations execute. GCD has no built-in priority support.

• Provides a KVO-compliant API for monitoring the state of operations and queues. GCD has a lower-level C-based API.
