Your application's menu isn't that big of a deal, but your application's integration with Mac OS X is a very big deal and that is most of the battle of doing "nib less" development. It is much more than just populating the main menu. Specifically, the application wrapper -- the .app -- typically contains all kinds of metadata that is used by Mac OS X to integrate the application into the system, both from the Finder's perspective and when the application is run.
Are there any good tools for porting Application menus and forms from other windowing systems (such as MS Windows or X or even Carbon) to Cocoa nibs? I have a number of applications that I would like to port, but redesigning the form or menu layout completely seems to be rather pointless. I am quite willing to rewrite all the code that interacts with the forms or menus, but I am not a graphic designer so form layout is better left to experts who have already done it. All I really want is a tool that will put objects without any connections or code on a form or menu by parsing a MS .RC file, for example
Being able to do this would lead to an large increase in the number of Macintosh applications available.
