As someone who has fairly limited exposure to mobile application development I have to ask a basic question, what are the use cases for this tool?

I can tell that it turns vector into code, but why not just include the vector in the app?

From what I understand, there's a performance gain from doing the drawing directly.

Actually, there's a performance hit when drawing directly (via [UIView drawRect:])

The point of PaintCode is to allow dynamic manipulation of an image. If you don't need a dynamic image, the best option is a .png; second option is drawing once to a UIImage.
