@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.

@anosidium @lapcatsoftware that's also interesting -- I somehow skipped storyboards, I never really took to them. I can work with xibs, or I can work with UI in code, but storyboards always seemed to me a sort of worst of all worlds. I think my main problem was they purported to solve navigation hierarchy and embedding/transitions between view controllers, but to actually do anything useful with that, you had to write code anyway. So why not just do that in code?
