Actually, I disagree. IB is still creating the view. It's clearly present in 
the storyboard, and if you remove it, you don't get the view.

Unfortunately, if you do this, you don't get any of the built-in support for 
creating static table view cells in IB (nor can you build dynamic cells).

For that matter, you really aren't able to have multiple table views in a 
window and take advantage of directly editing them in IB.
