binary files are fast, but are hateful that they work bad with 
GIT/SVN/CVS... since you always have a "conflict" even fro trivial changes.

I wonder if you think something that can be "compiled" like xibs?

Or instead more like "text format" NIBs that was introduced back then, 
where one could choose binary over text.
