@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?

@amyworrall @lapcatsoftware Nope. You can achieve all of this in storyboards. There’s also an unwind segue, which lets you go back to either the previous view controller or the root view controller, especially in a UIKit context. Storyboards can do everything that NIBs/XIBs can do and more, maybe with a few slight discrepancies here and there, but generally speaking they’re more capable.
