It turns out that getting rid of those wacky new constraints you see attached to user interface elements in Interface Builder is easy. To remove auto layout constraints in Xcode 4.5, just uncheck the “Use Auto Layout” box from the File Inspector while in the Interface Builder layout. Honestly, if you’re building for iOS 6 and beyond you’re probably going to have to get used to them. To me, this heralds the end of the days where we only had a couple of aspect ratios to design for.

Thank you! I hate the auto-layout constraint stuff!

Thanks… that stuff drove me mad.
I’d be editing an element’s x or y, and the constraints list would be changing, which changed the scroll bar to show or remove, which bumped the up and down arrows I was clicking on… It’s garbage.
