Is there a supported way to make nibless applications?
Define 'application'? You're perfectly fine to not use a NIB in an
Objective C/Foundation-based application.
However, as soon as you want to show a GUI, there are a lot of
subtle issues which make the contortions described on LapCat's page
necessary. Some of it is simply bugs, others are related to missing
API. So if you want to create a shipping app, I think this is still
necessary (at least until Apple releases a MacOS version with that
fixed).
