If the last you used was CW8, then that would explain it...

Our company has been building our Win32 projects via CW9 for years now and
will continue to for at least another year or two simply because it lets us
devs develop fully in a Mac OS X environment (vs. Visual Studio under
Windows).

No Universal Binaries?


IMHO, the only things CW has on Xcode 2.4 is:
  - better large file opening & editing
  - symbol coloring/highlighting (speculated to be in Xcode 3)
  - integrated file comparison
  - richer find/replace

I might add that CodeWarrior produced a lot smaller binaries than gcc3. However gcc v4.0 does make smaller binaries, but they are still a bit larger. Regardless of v4 however, those targeting pre-10.3.9 must still use v3.3 so the smaller binaries that v4 will create aren't much of a help for them.

However, I digress... Let CodeWarrior R.I.P.

Why? If I had my way, I would have CodeWarrior ressurected.

and let's get back to work...

Well, most of it has been a waste of time, or has it? :)

What version do you use? I have versions 6 and 8

Until a few months ago, I was using Codewarrior Pro 4, Codewarrior Pro 8 and
Xcode on a daily basis. I don't use Codewarrior Pro 8 that much anymore. And I
would gladly switch entirely to Xcode if given a choice.

My point was that all these glowing memories of Codewarrior must come from
some mythical and imaginary Codewarrior Pro v15. Because Codewarrior never got
anywhere near as good as people are describing it. The ones I continue to use
to this day are plagued with bugs and missing basic features, user interfaces
that move from beyond poorly thought-out and right into outright hostile, and
back in the day -- well, their developers seemed good if you could contact
one, but most of their support was staffed by an equal number of
all-but-terminally bored humans and highly trained bipolar weasels.

It's quite disconcerting reading all these glowing reviews of Codewarrior and
then popping it open and trying to do some work in it.
