Putting the essential parts in new means never having to include the instruction that "you must call this classes init method when subclassing and overriding init" into any API documentation I write.

I always assume that I do have to call the base init if I override it, unless something explicitly says that I don't. And I assume other people follow the same rule, so I don't feel obliged to spell it out when I document my own classes.
