i hate ios storyboard
its a disaster
its not Version controllable, also its not as good as android xml layouts where you can just copy paste someone else xml to get a view exactly like his
right now I have to clone a git repo, to open it in xcode, just to see how the guy has set up one of his textFields so that I can create a textfield like his

    Storyboards are XML underneath and are absolutely version-controllable, but I guess it all comes down to how comfortable you are with performing manual merges at times (when they get extremely out of sync). I've had multiple devs work on a single storyboard before and all were able to check in changes to different views without a single merge conflict.

    @emes001 yes they are xml underneath but the language is not consistent and readable, when I say version control able I mean I should be able to understand what's being written/generated, and also merge conflicts are huge issue when readability is bad.

    @bhargav-mogra got it. I understand your frustration.
