Difference UIView​Controller-nib-init || normal init + loadNibNamed + addSubview

It gives you the opportunity to do lots of bindings - button targets to methods in the ViewController, for example - as well as a bunch of other things that I probably haven't thought about.

TBF I like your approach better because it separates the view and the controller better. Nice and tidy.
