It applies as much as you want it to apply... by which I mean you are
free to make a big ol' mess if you wish! But the MVC pattern keeps
things sanely organised and should generally be followed, especially
if your project is likely to grow to something of realistic size.
I lay out all
my interface elements with code and not in Interface Builder.
This is really not a good idea. Many newbies seem to want to avoid IB,
maybe because it fits with their experience on other platforms better
- but IB really does so much donkey work for you. The time taken to
learn to use IB will be repaid a thousand times over in time not spent
writing code to lay out UI, and then the time wasted endlessly
tweaking it to line things up 'just so'.
Don't avoid IB, it's not worth it.
