I'm probably 2 to 5x times more productive building UIs now than I ever was using interface builder. To say nothing about having proper version control and being able to abstract views much better. Will it be painful when you start? likely, but since you are exposed to everything your programmer brain will figure out how to solve the repetitive tasks very fast by building a helper function.
