It's just that I find it hard to believe that using a nibless application is all that uncommon.

Most of us are not masochists - neither our time is unlimited. I started using NeXTSTEP in 1990 and in my company we do any type of project one could imagine - from banking and finance till robotic telescopes and hospital information system - yet we never ever had the need to do a nibless application. I did it once for education purpose only - back in 1991 IIRC.

I agree with this. I could see an app that doesn't add nibs beyond MainMenu.nib, especially for toy apps (no need to deal with another nib). but setting all the menus up everything up like that yourself is, well, pick an expletive, and then multiply it by approximately 1.5.

OTOH, if your ObjC "application" isn't GUI at all, then there is, of course, no reason to use NIBs.
