Less code is a good thing! I hope you fire up Xcode to see with your own eyes if the code-only view looks okay as well?

Also it's much more documenting to they guy that's going to maintain your screens later on.

Why not? You can simply open a storyboard and review it, no?

That requires downloading, checking it out (at the exclusion of your other branches), reviewing it, figuring out how to make comments on it even though there's no review interface for storyboards, rinse repeat. Code review in objective-c is commenting on code in github while code compiles and evaluating screenshots of the current state. If apple came out with a way to review storyboards on something as convenient of github, I might consider it.
