I have to say I agree. I was very uncomfortable with IB at the
beginning. I'm primarily a Flash Actionscript developer and am used to
doing virtually everything with code and just referencing buttons and
movieclips by instance names not with an MVC setup.
I kept re-reading the examples and explanations in books and going
through the tutorials and one day it suddenly all "clicked" - it was
like an epiphany. :) Once I properly understood the whole IB/
connectors/methods model it became much simpler to just design the
interface in IB and then connect all the code to the UI elements.
Perseverance truly does pay off in this case.
Cheers

Forgetting to connect something is part of being new, not because
the tool is crap. If you were familiar with Cocoa you'd be able to
know what the problem was quickly and simply fix the connection in
under 5 seconds. It'd be no slower than forgetting a line of code.
Once you learn how IB should be used, how to use it, and that it's
not magical, you'll realize there's no reason to not use it. It's a
big time saver.
Anyway, again... don't take it personally.

Yeah IB definitely feels like a PoS right now. The annoying thing
is that I downloaded a simple tutorial that is basically a launcher
to a website, i plugged in my URL and it worked fine. So i go to
create a new project that will be just like the alter tutorial,
except with a different name. Copy and paste the code, renaming
appropriately, and creating the XIBs with the right objects, and so
on. But it will not work! It compiles fine but i get the White
Screen of Oblivion on the iPhone Simulator. It must be a missing
connection in IB, but I just can't figure what is not connecting.
Hence my desire to bypass IB all together.
