Good question, and one that I also have (as a fellow newbie). Near as I can tell, the primary advantage is that resources inside an unused NIB file aren't loaded. In exchange you have to deal with the hassles of cross-NIB connections and implementing multiple window controllers.

It would be nice to see an authoritative and comprehensive discussion on this; maybe one of the Web sites (Stepwise, CocoaDev, CocoaDevCentral) could take a stab at an FAQ on this.

seems like it would be easier to make connections if it is all in one file.
What's the right way to do it and why?
