Sure. Basically, InspectorKit is designed to be a little more simple
in usage and aesthetics. For example, it does not provide a
specialized titlebar, and every pane is collapsible. It also uses Core
Animation to animate its panels, and is thus only Leopard+ compatible.
And as you mentioned, this framework comes with an IB plugin, making
it much easier to design your inspector panels inside IB and test out
in the Cocoa Simulator.
