Perhaps I'm missing something, but it seems odd to me that one would

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.
