I totally agree, the $5 isn't a problem. IMO the interface is
horrible! I can't stand having everything in one giant window. I
have 3 monitors on my MacPro and even when using my MacBook I
usually attach a second window, with XCode 3.x I can arrange
everything nicely so I can see more than once source file at once
and still have a debugger window open. I have never enabled the
"one giant window,with lots of separate panes" on XCode 3 and it
is scary to think that I might be forced into using it under XCode 4.
Being forced to have everything in one window to be is a giant
step backwards and stinks of Windoze!
This is my biggest gripe. I hate all-in-one UIs, too.
Xc4 has some support for opening new windows for things, and
trimming down most of the chrome. But the window is still the full
window Xc4 uses, and it's easy to accidentally open up some pane
you don't want. This I can live with
What I don't like is that navigating from one source file to
another doesn't just go to the already-open window. This is where
Xc4 breaks down, in terms of supporting multiple, separate-window use.
(That, and that you can't have just the left-hand pane in a window
without anything else).
I've written bugs about this, and they've come back as "known
issues," so I hope they're working on it. Until then, Xc4 is very
cumbersome for me to use.
Why do you have to use it? Why not just stick to XCode 3 for a while?
With this and all the other issues and negative points that I've
read, it doesn't seem worth the effort at the moment, for me anyway.
On XCode 3, you know the "Simple View" preference? I was wondering if
this were available in XCode 4?
(I don't have it installed anywhere at the moment).
Cheers
Dave
