Everyone has his/her preferences about how it "should" have been done.   

Being "in line" with the "philosophy of Gorm" (The Tao of Gorm?) is to be in
line with how it works on either OPENSTEP or MOSX.  Since GNUstep uses the NeXT
style interface I thought it best to implement it as it was under OPENSTEP.  
The way it works in Gorm is the way it works under OPENSTEP.  The reason for
this is so that people coming from either OPENSTEP or MOSX will be able to make
the transition without needing to relearn anything.

There was never a "Class" inspector in IB under OPENSTEP, nor is there, to my
knowledge, a class inspector in IB under MOSX (I can check now that I've got a
G4).
