Your inability to set up constraints in IB is just that: your inability. I get very complex things done including animations in IB.

The time gained by not having to restart the app every time you tweak the UI is immense.

I generally use storyboards to set up navigation, but depending on the project I'll do the majority in code (lots of similar screens) or do every screen by hand with some common controls in code that render in IB when every screen is really different.

I am no too dogmatic about it, I will touch the subject when interviewing people but I am more interested in a balanced view than rabid hatred for either method.
