> No more .ibplugins in Xcode 4, so now what...?

I've faced the same problem, and found no elegant solution. Removing 
dependencies on external plug-ins from a large IB file is tedious and 
error-prone. Maybe it's unreasonable to think that Xcode will support plug-ins 
again, but I'm still hopeful. Apple ships numerous complex applications that do 
not use standard Cocoa controls (think all Pro apps that rely on the ProKit 
private framework). Are we to believe that they are laying out and configuring 
their UI programmatically? My guess is that they are also still using IB3 until 
Xcode 4 supports IBPlugins again.

If it turns out that there is really *no* hope to get them back, a good 
question for Apple engineers at WWDC would be to let them explain what they're 
doing for Aperture/Logic Pro/Motion/etc. Given that those are *their* apps, I'm 
sure that's a pretty strong argument in favor of IBPlugIns or something 
equivalent.
