  Yes, very wise. Thank you for that.

  I think the analogy works better like this: Why use a plain old
hammer when there're pneumatic nail drivers with nail cartridges that
fires the nail instantly? THAT would be XCode / IB. Sounds to me like
this guy wants to do it "the hard way" with a plain old hammer (yes,
using the command-line tools aren't as automatic and easy to use, but
they're the most basic *perfectly valid* form of these tools). There
is *nothing wrong with this*.

  I'll reiterate my response:
