I only recently re-subscribed to the list, so I missed the "new nib
format buggy, stay away!" discussion but since I'm also using the new
format in one of my projects, this definitely caught my attention.
The reason I switched was that my initial nib suddenly started to cause
my app to segfault when loading in the initial nib loading code, but
seemed to work fine from the Test Interface environment of IB which was
still running from back before my nib lost its mind.
For the sake of expediency (I was right in the middle of some frenetic
coding), I switched to the new format, recompiled and moved on (yes,
this fixed my crash). I assumed having IB write out a brand new nib, in
a new format no less, was like starting over from scratch and that the
old format might just have some quirks. Since then, I haven't had any
reason to change it back.
Although I find the idea of keyed restore cleaner than the older,
position/version dependent system, and I do have everything checked
into a CVS repository in case of real disaster, I think I'll go flip
that switch back and catch up on some CocoaDev archives.
How bad is it?

There is some sort of serious bug in the new nib file format that
sometimes causes errors. Apple has officially adviced (on this list,
check the archives) that the new format should't be used until they
have resolved this problem. Your symptoms is consistent with what you
might see in this case. Change the preference, re-save the nib files,
and see if it helps. If you look inside the nib file you should *not*
see a file called "keyedobjects.nib" if you save in the old format.
Look in the list archives here for more info:
