> On android and iphone I typically just wrote front end by hand. While the drag and drop functionality in xcode was very nice, I felt restricted by it.

Those two are actually very different actions in Cocoa development. From what I remember, when you use drag and drop to create objects, those objects are actually created and serialized when you save the interface file. Creating the front end in code is a very different process in comparison. I have to agree that creating iOS UIs using the Interface Builder portion does feel restrictive at first, but it's actually an amazing tool for creating and using standard UI elements.
