You missed something and that's the way the framework is designed.
The topic of Cocoa without Interface Builder comes up on the list
surprisingly frequently, usually from someone who, like you, is trying
to "understand how Cocoa really works". I wrote this in response to a
similar post some time back:
"If you're real goal is the "educating" part, you're succumbing to the
meme that graphical UI builders are somehow a crutch and a barrier to
understanding. That might be the case for other environments, but
Interface Builder is a integral part of Cocoa Application development,
not a shortcut for newbies. Which is to say, if you think eschewing
Interface Builder is a purer path to app development, you have already
missed the point."
