No thanks. Just learn to Storyboards already. It is it that hard and Xcode can help anyone who maintains this app. If it all in code it takes a lot of the and effort to understand what is controlling the layout.

Except that Storyboards are pretty detrimental to large project maintenance, especially universal apps. AND they have a really awful habit (or most developers do!) to keep copy IN the storyboards.. which is an unimaginably bad practice.

Storyboards are good for small, simple apps where you're the sole developer (or maybe a team of 1-3). Go bigger, drop storyboards.

If you internationalise your app, you can extract all the copy out of a storyboard into a strings file.
