Totally depends on your needs. Using IB is easier unless you're maintaining cross platform code that you want to share common (GUI) sources. Many of our developers use platform agnostic XML files to describe their GUI. Platform specific code parses these files to create Platform specific GUI (using platform specific APIs). For well factored code this is much less work to maintain in the long run. For smaller projects where faster initial delivery is more important then using the platform specific GUI editors is usually faster than developing the XML parsing and platform specific control (widget?) code.
