Non-human-readable == non-maintenable.
You cannot review it.
You cannot check what was modified.
If you have more than one person working on GUI - thing can go wrong
too easy.
I know examples of big projects when people where dropping GUI
builders precisely for this reason. Or better cases were developping
tools to convert GUI templates to/from human-readable/understandable
form - so it can be checked-in, reviewed, diffed and patched later.
Just click "Use text archive format" when saving a nib and the files in
the nib archive will be stored in XML. Check in, review, diff, and
patch all you want.
P.S. Ordered "Programming Cocoa" by Scott Anguish (Choosen thickest
book available on Amazon with "Cocoa" in its name. 1272 pages. If
turns out to be bad - I can use it as a stand.).
Now waiting for delivery... ;-)
Man, you're really out to nail those visual programmers to the wall
with overwhelming evidence of their despicable practices, right? :-)
Happy reading! (It's a good book by the way)
Regards,
Malte
