I agree here. I also tried to do a cocoa binding for Eiffel and
couldn't figure out how to avoid XCode / interface builder / nib
files.

I would really like to see a pure simple command line way to use
cocoa/aqua widgets without going the Object C way. And i doubt that
using nib files is very ruby like and also not very portable.
