I did, and got an answer back off-list. The OP can re-post it if he
wishes.
FWIW, I can only think of two good reasons not to use IB and some IDE
to make Mac OS X executables:
1. The developer has some sort of handicap that makes use of IB
inconvenient to impossible.
2. The developer is working on yet another cross-platform framework,
such as XUL, Qt, wxWidgets, GNUstep, etc.
The majority of people who have not wanted to use them are either
Windows switchers who want to do things the way they've always done
things (Visual Studio has a GUI maker, but it generates code instead
of archives), or Mac OS 7/8/9 switchers who were too proud to be seen
using ResEdit by others :), or people who enjoy making simple things
complicated. They aren't very good reasons, especially for newbies.
