Its hard to know how to respond here.
Theres several camps we can welcome you from:
(1) Yeah, IBs a pain at first, but youll get the hang of it.
(2) IBs better than sliced bread, are you f-ing stupid?
(3) IB has its good and bad points. Live with it.
Rather than slag you from camp (2) or cheer you on from camp (1) or
commiserate with you from camp (3), I guess Id like to know whats
your developer background? Are you a Rails refugee? Are you a Django
demi-god? Have you known victory in Visual Studio?
I ask this because the question (like everything else in life) is
colored from your experience. Are you a complete newbie? Do you RTFM
before you ask questions like the one you posed? Did you buy the
Hillegass book and work through the tutorials? (I wager the answer to
Q2 is NO)
Doing an all-code project is an advanced topic and has its own
challenges way beyond any discomfort you currently experience with IB3/
Xcode. On this list, no one here has any idea what you want to do (you
havent shared that publicly with us). Giving you *any* advice is
pointless until you describe to us what you want to do.
Two articles *every* developer should read before posting here:
http://whathaveyoutried.com
and
http://www.mikeash.com/getting_answers.html
These articles will make you a better developer, but only if you
follow the advice laid out in them. If you choose not to, youre going
to continue to suffer until you *get* the Cocoa way. Remember, the
tools don't care that you're suffering. Only you do.
Live Playfully,
Sam

Is it possible to write Cocoa applications without having to use
Interface Builder? I find IB to be rather unintuitive and would
like to create GUI programs programmatically. Is this possible? All
the tutorials I see involve using IB.
thanks
