Not necessarily. If you've got an app with window layouts in
resources, or hand-constructed, you might keep your existing layouts
in resources and use nibs for new code. The 10.2 Finder does
exactly this - most windows are still using PowerPlant resource types,
but new features such as the slow and annoying expanding Info window
are done with nibs.
