Okay, I was just wrong about this. On iOS, a UIViewController's awakeFromNib is called if the UIViewController is instantiated from a nib. But on Mac OS X, an NSViewController's awakeFromNib is called both if the NSViewController is instantiated from a nib and if a nib is loaded with that NSViewController (already in existence, obviously) as owner. That is a *profound* difference between the two.
