This probably is true.
But I just had a long fight with IB: I took an old nib, which needed some changes, and decided to upgrade it to use autolayout.
There were tons of conflicts, and lots of constraints which IB did not let me delete, because "they were added by the system" (or something like that).
In the end I had to delete all the old textFields and add new ones instead.
Had I known this before, I would have much better created a new nib instead.
The lesson: converting an old nib to use autolayout is NOT worth the pain.
With new xibs on the other hand my experience with Xcode 5 is 100% positive. Much better than Xcode 4.x.
Kind regards,
Gerriet.
