You seem pretty confident in your argument that developers are just complaining while using the tool wrong. It makes me think that your experiences in UI development on large teams is limited.<p>There is a reason why you hear this constant complaint, and the reason is because IB is really horrible in this regard. Behind the scenes it is generating unnecessarily verbose xml that is not developer friendly at all. This is unacceptable. Even Microsoft did a much better job when generating XAML from Expression Blend, and this was half a decade ago.<p>I&#x27;m not sure if you&#x27;ve ever used react-native, but imagine if IB generated ode that looked like a react component. Not a single soul would be complaining because these problems wouldn&#x27;t exist.
