Copy a view from one xib to another, and now hitTest is broken and the gesture recognizers text fields from becoming key.

I mean seriously, what breaks _hitTest_?

If hitTest is broken, what’s left to trust? I don’t know how to recover from this short of rebuilding the xib from scratch.

And even then, what assurance would I have that it would work?

This is what I hate about developing on Apple’s platforms. I have to solve {Cocoa,Xcode}’s problems before I can solve mine.

In contrast, developing against WPF has been fresh air. I have to cope with essential complexity & my own short-sightedness. That’s enough.

If Xamarin weren't proprietary, I think that would be my new platform.

Mono?

Need the bindings to platform APIs.

Ah, yeah. Welp, we’re doomed.
