I think it's a matter of attitude. Your response didn't add anything to the discussion, you seemed to refuse perfectly valid advice (by your message, you didn't read - or understand - the original article and the advice I gave you, while given in a more than a little condescending tone - sorry for that - would enlighten you) and people around here don't really welcome that.

Do you even know what advice(1) is? That's not advice as I understand it. That's an order. You're giving orders to a complete strange on a web forum. Think about the intelligence behind that for a second.
My comment on this site was referencing the comment by Paul Topping(2) on the TC link. His opinion, and one I agree with, is that Visual Languages become too cumbersome for anything but small projects, and my example is using Visual Programming for layout. The XIB's are XML in XCode.
Edit: I just got down voted for replying "No." to a comment on HN. Hah! That's this site in a nutshell for you.
