Which are like noses. Everybody has one.

>And his opinion is that merging Nibs is a nightmare. Does he need to document how he did it, when, where, and what the room temp was at the time to "justify" an opinion?

Does he needs to elaborate more in order to justify it?

Of course.

Well allow me to elaborate - have you ever merged two nib files? With today's variant you merge XML. With yesterday's variant you simply don't do it because it's not possible. So you're merging an obtuse XML file at best. In my mind that's painful versus merging clean .h and .m files where we know what's going on. So he's using colorful language to describe such situations - A "nightmare".
