I'm doing precisely this. I run two projects in parallel, one by Xcode, one
by hand and compare the findings. The problem I have right now is that the
one from Xcode just works and I don't know why, it seems to do lots of
things under the hood. For instance, MyDocument.m does not even have to
have dataOfType:error: or readFromData:ofType:error: in order to show "Save
as" enabled in the menu. On the other hand, yes, that's something I totally
did not anticipate so I guess I learned something new.

I'm reading, really.
