Then maybe Xcode 4 wasn't ready for public consumption. I think some
of us that believe Apple's previous praise for their new IB3 plugin
API feel serious burned by that. The fact that there is no replacement
at hand means that I'll likely waste many more hours undoing IB3
plugin stuff in my XIB files just so I can build for the future. Yes,
Xcode 3 offers a solution for now, but it won't be there for future
development.
All in all, IB changes were a major step backward with this new
release. It is harder to use, less flexible, completely un-extendable,
and I've yet to see any real benefit from this change as a developer.
