When I create objects in code I have a much firmer idea of where they are, when they come into existence and what I can do with them. IB is yet another language to master. and you still have to write a fair amount of custom code.
See my previous post on the subject.
I have found that in general, the one aspect of Interface Builder that baffles people the most is that it does not 'Write Code'.
People accustomed to IDEs such as Cafe or JBuilder et al keep insisting on 'seeing the code'. To me, I could care less.
When I'm trying to build the flight deck of a starship, I don't have the time to investigate and peruse the detailed metallurgical characteristics

After that, File's Owner provides its own trouble, I suspect simply because the name is/was an unfortunate choice.
Maybe Nib's Owner might have been better. But File's Owner is easier to come to grips with when you realise that
it's simply a connector of sorts to join two object graphs together.
