I'm a fan of not using Interface Builder/Storyboards and creating views in code, maintaining a separate view hierarchy alongside the hierarchy of view controllers in your app. I wrote a post about not using Interface Builder a few years ago. It's been a few years, so some of it might be outdated, but the premise remains the same.

Soroush Khanlou talks in more detail about pushing some of view controller's responsibility into its views in Smarter Views and is very relevant. Check it out.
