There are 2 reasons why people are confused with tab applications:
Firstly the first view. This is the view that appears with the diagnoal lines on it. Click it and press delete. Now it looks normal and you know you need to now type in a nib name and set the class for that view. Then the view updates to "view loaded from FirstView.xib". I think that one tab view in the mainwindow nib and the other in another nib is confusing people.
Second is people don't know how to put Navigation controllers/table controllers inside the tab view so they can set other options in the inspector. It is in fact sooo easy to put a navigationcontroller inside a tab item view, its just a bit unobvious. Click the status bar of the tab bar controller icon in IB. Yes I said the status bar. Now you see something new in the inspector and you can set if you want the view to be a Navigation Controller or whatever. And now you can set other options on it including the initial title by double clicking the title.
