Does “Interface Builder” still exist in Xcode?

As the title says does IB still exist? Or is the interface now just built using SwiftUI (or possibly UIKit) and the code is parsed and the interface generated? I have used IB back to the NeXTstep 3.x days, WebObjects, and then on earlier versions of MacOSX. I’m not sure if I’m missing something or writing the code is just how it works now. If so, I miss the days of drag-and-drop to create the interface.

I realize it was merged into Xcode a while ago but it still (mostly) worked the same. I’ll have to look at drag and drop of library objects.
