I did, and got an answer back off-list. The OP can re-post it if he wishes.

FWIW, I can only think of two good reasons not to use IB and some IDE to make Mac OS X executables:

1. The developer has some sort of handicap that makes use of IB inconvenient to impossible.
2. The developer is working on yet another cross-platform framework, such as XUL, Qt, wxWidgets, GNUstep, etc.


The majority of people who have not wanted to use them are either Windows switchers who want to do things the way they've always done things (Visual Studio has a GUI maker, but it generates code instead of archives), or Mac OS 7/8/9 switchers who were too proud to be seen using ResEdit by others :), or people who enjoy making simple things complicated. They aren't very good reasons, especially for newbies.
