Isn't it fair to hate it just due to the clunky interface?

Many times I find it difficult to select a subview under another subview. Or, when adding a subview, it is too eager to be the subview of a subview. Those are the tip of my list of grievances.

I use it! Sometimes it's simpler and faster to go with IB instead of code, and you are definitely right about maintainability. But I sure wish there was something as convenient that wasn't awful to use. That's actually how I feel about all of Xcode. (Yes, I've tried AppCode, I liked it even less.)

You can select a specific view under others with ctrl-shift-click. I don't know anything to help with its over-eagerness to add subviews, though.
