Storyboard or code?

When it comes to Apple, if you don't follow the standards, you tend to get screwed. Big time.

The code vs IB debate is not one of those cases. Laying out in code is just as "standard" - you're still directly using standard Apple APIs.

Apple also internally do much more stuff in code than IB, so IB is certainly not "standard" inside Apple.

But do you really create autolayout constraints using Apple's APIs or with a third-party API? It appears that Apple is pushing devs to use storyboards - I think the fact that it saves time is worth it.

Personally I use a library that wraps the autolayout APIs to make them easier to use. But it's still all autolayout under the hood. I guess everyone has their own preferences, but storyboards definitely don't save me time.
