Some people hate interface builder and don't use it at all. I really like it and would have a really hard time getting rid of it. The amount of code you would need to write to make all of your views would be terrible.

I would liken it to not using HTML when you're making a web app and you can only use javascript to generate (by hand) all of the UI.

Except that I feel the control you lost by using IB is smaller compared to the control you lose by using an HTML builder. But then again, it's been forever since I last used an HTML builder.

In both cases, there are border cases that need to be handled in code (or markup).
