Yes it is - because the NIB files encode the actual position of the elements
relative to each other in pixels. As that is what the archive contains theres
not a lot youy can do about it.

All you need to write an interface is a way of viewing it
visually - you dont require a way to write it visually. I agree its
hard to write music if you are deaf, but thast the visualisation sense, not
the writing sense. Its perfectly possible to writemusic my writing
it onto sheet music and then playing it. Somewhat better than
sitting down at a keyboard and plonking random notes until you get
something which sounds nice - which is what editing a user interface
graphically is analogous too :-)

Again, the use of vision in painting is to look at the product - you
dont actually paint the picture with your eyes, you use a brush! 'vi' is my
brush and the viewer acts as the way of seeing what I am doing.
