I've tried using Storyboards and Xibs in the past, but I think they're too annoying in practice for many reasons (some mentioned in the article): - Merge conflicts - Can't effectively search & replace - Slow to open - Can't inherit xibs / create subclasses of xibs - The properties that can be visually edited for a view are quite limited ... and in case a dev opts into auto-layout ... - Autolayout is like an extra magic layer So whenever I have the chance, I just implement my views in code, doing all positioning in layoutSubviews. It's not that much more work and it's easy to modify and reason about.
