I'm a big fan of declarative layouts and vastly prefer doing Android UIs to iOS UIs for this reason. But that's only because Android has a sane & powerful layout language. Obj-C is so hideously inflexible and verbose for this kind of thing that I prefer to stick to xibs despite their limitations. Of course there will always be cases in iOS apps where layout in code makes more sense though.
