I don't see why that's needed. Just to have a readable form of the 
interface to look at? Or to be able to edit it (but then you couldn't 
use Gorm with it again)?

I know Gorm is not very user friendly, but it probably has something 
like 75% of the functionality of the original NeXT InterfaceBuilder. 
Anything that it doesn't have, you can 'add' after you've loaded the nib 
or perhaps in an awake... method.

I know a lot of people still hardcode the interface, but almost all the 
interfaces I've seen *could* be done in Gorm, possible with a few fixups 
after the file has been loaded.
