Not to mention that XIBs that have been compiled to NIBs can't be opened in Interface Builder, meaning you can't edit the interfaces of newer applications. It takes the fun out of it :(

What's the difference? (assuming 'xib's aren't under NDA here...)

A xib is an XML file that is ostensibly the same thing as a NIB file. It opens in interface builder and opens and edits just like a nib would. When you compile your project the XML file is converted to a nib and included in your application bundle.

The idea behind this is that source control systems like Subversion
that had problems with NIB files will work nicely with the XML files,
but the end result is the same for the developer and the user.
