Personally I hate it the way it is now too.
I'm not the biggest fan either, but it's starting to grow on me. The
hardest thing was (and still is) finding your way around all those
"Get Info" panels.
My suggested "to do" list for xCode:
1) Speed up the compiles!
2) Come up with some sort of organizer where all those info panels
can be accessed in one place for the current project. You can leave
the existing things where they are, but one central place, with
notations of what means what, would be extremely helpful
3) Provide versioning support that doesn't require a freakin' phd to
set up. I tried following the instructions, letter for letter, to no
avail and finally gave up. Give me a button that says "use
versioning" and step me through the process of setting it up
4) Take the stupid COMMAND-/ key code off that Applescript.
COMMAND-/ is used in Metrowerks and you can't reassign it in Xcode
without going out to the Finder and throwing away that Applescript
file. Not that I could find anyway
My biggest beef, however, the speed, was resolved by me getting a
much faster machine than the 400mhz G4 I had been using. That's not
a solution for everyone, so I hope that they'll put some work into
optimizing GCC.
Only a fool turns away from an angel,
Vision in white steps through the door,
Holds out her hand, I say 'No I'm not ready'
I open my eyes and let the dream fade away.
