Well said.

And, if choosing to do your own UI (I did this for my "math drills" app for kids), be aware that the following can add quite a bit of additional work:

- accessibility
- resolution independence
- potential need for IB palettes/plug-ins

These, and perhaps more I'm missing, are things you get for free when using the standard UI.
