1. Glad to see improvements in the Cocoa-Ruby bindings.
2. It is not a Good Thing™ to be able to avoid using Interface Builder! IB is awesome and amazing and reduces code. IB gives you leverage. It lets you do GUI setup via a (wait for it) GUI! It then saves this GUI configuration as a nib file which is identical to if you had hand-coded all of that stuff.
Trust me, I am a CLI freak. I still code in vim and only use IDE's to debug. But purposefully not using one of the best things about Cocoa is just odd to me.
This doesn't seem like a win to me. Interface Builder is not something I want to avoid when building Cocoa apps; it's more like the reason I'd want to build a Cocoa app, rather than a wx or Swing app.
