title: Should I use Interface Builder to create Table Cells?
body: <p>I'm doing a <strong>tableview</strong>, whose data provider can offer quite a <strong>lot of data</strong>. There will be an additional Details view for each cell, but I'm thinking that the initial cell could (should) show quite a lot of info, too. Better usability, fancy look &amp; feel, fun to create.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that it's quite a <strong>lot of manual coding to create a cell</strong> with this much data. Many places to make errors, slow to finetune coordinates, sizes, colors etc. I know I can use a XIB template, but should I? It will work, not questioning that, but is it a recommended way to use or to avoid?</p>

  <p>When looking at this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/413993/loading-a-reusable-uitableviewcell-from-a-nib">reusable UITableViewCell XIB</a> question (link also above) it's not clear what is recommended. What is the situation today?</p>
