This confuses me.

Tab views and toolbars are really easy to learn, and practically essential Mac OS X interface fundamentals. Why not learn how to use them? It really isn't difficult.

I recently developed an application where I have a main window with a toolbar on top. Each icon will open a new view with different tables and text fields, etc. in the same main window (more or less like a preference pane). I do all this in the MainMenu.nib which is obviously crowded by instantiated classes controlling each view.

Is this the most efficient way to this or should I perhaps have a nib file for each view (how could this be done then). Which is better, and potentially why?

The handiest way is to fill the window with a tabless NSTabView and to make the toolbar simply switch the tabs in the tabview. Unless you really want to learn using tabviews and toolbars, I would suggest to use Uli Kusterer's UKPrefsPanel: http://www.zathras.de/ programming/cocoa/UKPrefsPanel.zip
