Perhaps I'm missing something, but it seems odd to me that one would try to use FileMerge merge .xib's in the first place; I thought .xib's hold the GUI elements of a program, wouldn't it be very difficult to manipulate that auto-generated code using FileMerge..?


Interface Builder doesn't generate code, it writes out a serialized object graph. That said, I don't think it's unreasonable at all to at least *expect* to be able to use FileMerge on n/xib files. Comparing and merging files is a core activity for developers, and I think that you are right to expect it to work for all of the basic file formats used for developing apps for our platforms. It currently doesn't, and that's unfortunate.
