Thank you for that, Jerry. I started to reply in a similar way this morning, but deleted my draft because I thought I might just be making unhelpful noise.
I am in Storyboards 101 right along with Daryle, and as I typed in example code from a tutorial project, my fumbling around with autolayout constraints confused XCode and caused it to lock up and crash—but not before saving my main storyboard file. After that, XCode beachballed for a long time and then crashed every time I attempted opening that file, so I lost access to all the screens in the storyboard at once.
I’m sure I could have looked into ways to manually edit the file to remove the deadly constraints, but my point it, I hear there’s a way to break up storyboards and add segue references between them. So my advice would be similar:
Storyboards are option. Feel free to stick with XIBs.
If you do use storyboards, consider breaking your UI up among several, so if a problem develops in one file, it won’t cost you all the work you’ve done on the UI.

Is there any reason to learn and use storyboards?
