@anosidium Swift, I'm not _quite_ that stuck in the past! (I do have a love for ObjC, but I've accepted now that the Apple community has moved on.)
The overall lifecycle is through a minimal xib file -- the file's owner is NSApplication, but I only interact with that through the `NSApp` singleton. The App Delegate object there is my custom class and thus my entry point -- beyond there, all the UI/object graph is done in code.
It's a document based app so NSDocument does a lot of the work.

@amyworrall Interesting, I noticed that some earlier-generation programmers used XIBs rather than storyboards. I love storyboards and like to use them as much as possible. I’m not a big fan of the programmatic approach, especially when it comes to UI. @lapcatsoftware still writes his apps in Objective-C.
