I would go farther with this and say that, as long as you're targeting 10.5+, you should always load nibs using NSWindowController or NSViewController. If you find yourself in a situation where neither one is appropriate, it's probably a sign that you need to rework how your nibs are set up or how your code is designed, not a sign that you should use NSBundle's nib loading mechanism. No doubt there are *some* cases where it makes sense to load a nib manually, but my experience has been that NSViewController has covered every reasonable case that NSWindowController left out.
