And storyboards did away with the concept of Files Owner as well. Now the view-
or window-controller is in the XIB that's what you usually connect to. This was
probably the most common practice anyway so it makes some sense.
Coming from iOS (jeers from the gallery) I quite like storyboards on OSX too
and they support all the embedding and other segues which make hooking up the
scenes of an app quite intuitive. For odd views, especially those which really
want a non-controller files owner, I still make a NIB and I don't expect that
to be going away any time soon.
