Let's not do the usual thing of allowing Jobs to get away with claiming other people's advancements. VB and Delphi by '97 already had that sort of interface builder - arguably much better ones. NEXT was trying to catch up with what Microsoft had already done on Windows by then.

That's great that VB and Delphi had one in 97, but the Interface Builder for NeXT was released in 1988.

Oh definitely NeXT was standing on the shoulders of giants, prior art, and historical precursors. He did present it well though, with a quotable and catchy demo.
