Well, it’s different. Coming from OS X, I’ve found iOS UI development the more difficult of the two, because the UI is so much more limited, there is no document model or user-accessible filesystem, there’s very little you can do when in the background, etc.

I don’t think either is diveable-into, even if you’re comfortable with the other.

Anyway, to answer YT’s original question: To create new controllers you can use the New File… command and create a new OS X NSWindowController or NSViewController subclass. Xcode will put boilerplate code in the new files and even create .xibs. If you’re creating a document-based app you may want to create an NSDocument subclass, which is higher-level and abstracts the file I/O for you.
