Using a ViewController to manage Nibs makes memory management of the objects insode the Nib so much easier. You are responsible for the memory of ‘top-level’ objects inside the Nib.

If you use an IBOutlet ivar of type UIView in the class above, in the Nib you can just hook up the view to File’s Owner. The objects will be connected at runtime when the Nib is loaded. You then won’t need to programatically loop through all the objects in the Nib.
