I'm sticking with IB2 until this is resolved… it's usable on Leopard if you install Xcode 2.5. IB3 looks cool, but the way controls are grouped makes them harder to find, and there still seem be gaps in the functionality, particularly for the Cocoa class hierarchy.

I'm completely puzzled by this.

I really can't say enough good about Interface Builder 3. The previous app had a great run, but it was definitely time for an overhaul. I see IB3 as far more polished and far more relevant to what developers are doing now.

I'm also really surprised by the interest in creating classes within IB. You're only saving a few lines of typing at most (less, with copy- and-paste and autocompletion) and it makes for an inconsistent process since only some classes lend themselves to that approach.

I think it's much easier to just create the class from a template in Xcode and drag it over.
