I used to think "everything should be in code" as well, when I started iOS development. But after I used IB for a while, I could see how it was saving me time on certain tasks, like setting up the ol' MainWindow.xib (especially if you have nested view controllers). That said, it's not as good working with complex, custom views. There, I go all-code. I think this is the pragmatic approach.
