I can edit the XIB file of course but it hasn’t been designed for manual editing.
Does anyone habitable construct .xib files manually?
I don’t think that’s feasible. Apple’s never published the file format and it’s always been treated as a black box that’s only for use by IB and the internals of AppKit. I’m sure you could reverse-engineer it, but whatever you did would likely break in a future OS release.
I think it would make more sense to define your own file format and write your own library to parse it at runtime and build an object graph. (Which is really all that AppKit is doing with xibs.)
