Ihar, no offense, but I think a lot of your problems are coming from lack of understanding of how Cocoa works and the whole system of Cocoa development.

Yea, maybe it's a pain in the butt and totally unnecessary, but wouldn't starting from scratch, programmatically creating all of the various things needed for something simple give you a possibly *MUCH* better view of what's going on under the hood?

Perhaps, but don't forget the fundamental design goal of Cocoa: to minimize the amount of code that needs to be written. IB isn't just a convenient way to do what you would otherwise have to code by hand. It's an integral part of Cocoa's approach.

Ideally, you wouldn't write any code at all; you'd just hook stuff up in IB. You can kind of see bindings leading in that direction.

If you're writing a GUI app and are trying to bypass IB to do it, you're sort of missing the whole point of Cocoa.
