It is only with very a very kind spirit I would like to note that everything said below about IB can be said for codegen UI tools. So even though the process is different, the ultimate outcome of having an object model is consistent between both approaches.

I can think of one major difference: UI editing after the fact.


And this includes localization. (Having presented the session on internationalization at WWDC last week, I feel particularly obligated to point this out, repeatedly if necessary.) To properly internationalize your app on Mac OS, you must make *no* assumptions about the relative positioning of objects in your UI. Codegen UI tools hard-code this layout into your app, which makes this much harder for localizers.
