If you want to write new apps running on MacOS X & GNUstep, what would
you use to create the nib/xib/storyboard stuff which Xcode manages
normally for you?
Handcoded source files? or is there an easier way.
I was investigating this for some time. For now two approaches seem
reasonable to me.
The first one is creating xib files using Xcode and use these files with
GNUstep. This works (somewhat well) since the latest GNUstep release.
I did some basic documentation here:
http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/XIB
I have an experimental port of an app which uses this and kind of runs
(thanks to the help of Fred):

This approach would be even nicer if xib 5 support would be added to
Gorm.
The other approach is to use lib Renaissance[^1] which requires writing
xml files and f.e. is used by FisicaLab[^2] or EOModelEditor[^3].
Let me know what you think.
