I have filed literally hundreds of bug reports. I get the spirit of what you're saying, but I'm so stressed from this project (and IB's hand in it), and so demoralized from having my bugs come back as either Duplicate, or Behaves Correctly, or just stay Open forever, and finally, having to wait for the next major release to see them fixed (rather than fixed in a dot release), that it's getting nearly impossible to summon the will to write more bugs.

For what it’s worth, I agree, and I don’t think IB should be doing anything at all to try and guess what constraints we want, or even to keep them consistent. The spirit of the dev tools is to allow you to do whatever you want (even if it’s wrong), and to tell you when it’s wrong. The unsatisfiable constraints should simply come up as errors/warnings when the xib is compiled. This would lead to a whole lot less frustration when it comes to IB deciding to change everything you already set up simply because you added one extra view.
