There are two philosophies on UI implementation. One says that you should get a competent designer to lay out all of your UI components and then load that. The other says that you should describe their meaning and relations and let an algorithm do it. The first way is the OpenStep/GNUstep/Cocoa way, and in my experience gives far superior results. You seem to be advocating the second in the case of preference panes. Could you clarify:

1) Why you feel algorithmically generated UIs will be superior to manually designed nibs, and 2) Why you think having two different ways of creating UIs will make development easier?
