This is one of those cases where there really is no trade-off:
Interface Builder *could* support textual nib files that *do*

lost, and there would be straightforward developer benefit for what
are becoming increasingly common cases.
The new .xib files in IB3 seem to be a big step forward here in that
they are both textual and diffable. Or am I missing the point?
They are human readable, and while diff support works, it could be
much better. Merging is still not possible. XIB files are a step in
the right direction, but they aren't a solution.
