Well now that I think about it, I suppose ONLY in the realm of MVC It could be possible to use it a-lot like XAML does. Currently I don't use bindings, I am using the old jaguar style with actions.
Ok, now my question is this. Lets say I compile program X and it uses nib a and b. Is there a way to design the UI of the program without compiling the actual program X? I would like to distribute an application where as the UI can be totally changed but still subscribe to events using bindings? I suppose that is the real adavantage that I would like to have here.
Let me attempt to almost anwser my own question. in Xcode, you include your nibs and they end up being put together as a resource part of the compilation. However on the filesystem, the end result of the program is actually a folder or a directory. The nibs are part of that folder as a resource. I suppose if you really wanted to, you could open up that folder and rip out the nibs, change them, and then put them back. However I don't think this is really a standard way. Need some guidance here. -Jerrod Fowkes

Cocoa has Interface Builder and its NIB files, which account for what
you are trying to do. IB can instantiate any kind of object, not just
views (UI-capable objects), and it's used to produce a relationship
between the view and the controller part of your code (in MVC
fashion).
NIBs predate XAML by years, since IB was originally part of the NeXT
developer tools.
