i did something similar to this once. i came to the same conclusion as shipley: trying to have other people edit your nibs is madness.

i chose to solve it in a different way, though. i kept all my localized strings in my own simple text file, and did away with nibs altogether, preferring to build all views and windows and menus in code at runtime. probably wouldn't work so hot for really complicated user interfaces, but it worked for me.

If you are running your code in an iPhone environment and ever want to modularize code. (Say having a tab in someone else's app without revealing your source) Not having XIBs makes using a static library much easier and cleaner.

i am even more anti-xib/nib when it comes to the iphone. they are almost always useless in that case. i've written three fairly substantial iphone apps so far, and i haven't used a nib yet.
