Please stay on-list. 

You’re looking in the wrong place. Select the xib and then 
View->Utilities->Show File Inspector, or Option-Command-1

But I wouldn’t bother unchecking it even when you do find it for 3 reasons. 

1) That’s clearly the direction Apple is taking and it’s normally better to row 
in the same direction than against it, although I wish they wouldn’t keep 
things like this a secret. I don’t even see that option with Storyboards, only 
NIB. Storyboards are pretty obviously going to be the new default pretty soon 
and I’m reasonably sure that my custom views are getting initWithCoder: out of 
storyboards at this point. 

2) It’s arguably more consistent, you get initWithCoder: for stuff which comes 
out of a NIB without having to remember that NSView subclasses work differently 
for some historical reason. 

3) It shouldn’t matter. If you need something done in your custom NSView 
subclass which must be done at init* time, factor it out and call it from 
initWithFrame: and initWithCoder: and then it matters not how your view gets 
created, it’ll work.
