> The previous method used XML (in XIB files) and needed special tooling (Interface Builder)

This isn't really true. Interface Builder was an alternative to writing UI code, but programmatic UI is still allowed and is well-supported. Many developers prefer it to IB.

Mix & match was always the best way, IMO.

Use IB to build small components and highest-level layouts.

Use code for everything in between, as well as individual views.
