The amazing thing about IB is that it doesn't generate code. It archives an object graph which you define visually, with all the correct connections, and when it instantiates itself it initializes the objects with the arguments you defined for them in IB. Pretty much exactly what you'd have to do in code, but without the errors, and in a fraction of the time. It's your choice.

I always write Java user interfaces programmatically, in my experience, the

programs whose GUI was designed graphically and spent many hours wading thru
tons boilerplate code to find an error. So perhaps those experiences have
prejudiced me against graphical GUI development, idk.
