Well I agree with you all in the convenience of using NIBs, but that
really mean that we have to necessarily use XCode / Interface
builder to develop Cocoa Apps and cannot just rely on an text editor
and GCC to develop those apps. Really GCC can compile ObjC, but it
seems to be "worthless" if we do not use NIBs and invoke GCC through
XCode.
Don´t understand me wrong. I do not have anything against the XCode /
IB tandem. It just surprised me that there was this "de facto"
obligation to use NIBs.

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.
