Why does everyone new to the platform want to immediately discard IB?
It is the correct (yes, "correct", not "preferred", not "easiest", but
*correct*) way to implement your interface.

Think very carefully about how much interface generation you really
want to do.  Often times a capable professional UI designer can come
up with an interface that isn't "generated" so much as having parts of
it hidden or resized.
