I love the power of auto-layout, but I'll be damned if I can make it behave when working on the GUI .xib file. I've taken to using auto-layout without .xib, building the UI elements in the viewController.m and attaching NSLayoutContraints manually. It's a bit of a pain, but if the layout is complicated I think it's time saved.
