Should views be created using NIBs or code in iPhone?

Question

Are there any performance, development drawbacks or advantages when designing views using Interface Builder?

Answer 1

From what I've seen until now, generating views with XIBs is VERY easy. But since I've not been developing on iPhone a long time, I can only direct you to this article that shows a sample XIB converted to Objective-C code.

Interface Builder anyday! :)

I'm sure there are no significant performance gains by directly coding the view.
