Way back in Xcode 3 (or whenever it was that IB was a separate app), the floating palette that they had for the object library let you browse through the UI elements, see what was there, and discover new widgets as they were added to new OS releases. They were even grouped into categories, if I’m remembering correctly. Now? Searching for the element you want is the only halfway effective way to use it at all. And then, of course, if you have it visible at all, it clutters up your code editor when you switch to a source file.
Yes, it’s IB that is the most out of place being made to fit in with a UI design that just doesn’t suit this style of tool. The situation is even worse now we have auto layout. Its obvious to be anyway that IB really does need to implemented using specialised windows designed specially towards UI layout, not forced into a bloated out window that is designed around editing, maintaining and compiling source files and managing project settings.
