I'm not saying they're completely bad; I do use them, especially for table view cells. But I think the overall design is just not finished; they should have spent less time coding and more time thinking. As I've said many times in public, the insight that the whole transition between view controller A and view controller B might be packaged up as an object (a segue) is potentially brilliant and might ultimate result in neater code. But it doesn't now, for many reasons (one of which, that you yourself grant, being the fact that you get no help whatever with the reverse of the segue).

But how can they, when they know nothing of your custom container controller??? If you're using custom container controller you *can't* use a storyboard.
Indeed, it seems to me that just the opposite is true: the storyboard project doesn't "fit" at all - it feels like a skunkworks project that did a bunch of stuff without any communication to or from the rest of the company. It's totally gone its own way (else the table view cells stuff would have migrated back to the nib editor).
