> Unlike other graphical UI layout tools, Interface Builder is central to Cocoa development, not simply a shortcut for newbies or a way to get started quickly. Anyone who thinks developing without Interface Builder is a purer path to understanding Cocoa has already missed the point.

Actually, there are a lot of commercial developers who hard-code their entire UIs.  I'm at something of a loss to see why myself, but they do it, and they swear it's the best way.  Ironically, one of the reasons often given is "easier internationalisation" vs xibs.

Though this does happen more often with iOS than Mac OS, from what I've seen.  There may be some paradigms refusing to shift with ex- or co-Android developers.  Nonetheless it's demonstrably possible.
