I find Xcode too complicated in it's configuration. It's too much
Unixy what with all it's gcc underpinnings. I don't want to care
about that sort of stuff.
Xcode hides all of the rather well... try building with make or gcc
some time directly to see how well it does. Also the template projects
and targets make it very easy to not have to care about these things.
Why can't Xcode make it easy and warn us about commonly known errors,
like trying to make a library with PIC code on? And give us a helpful
hint to turn it off? Or that sort of thing.
How about not screwing with build settings that you may not yet
understand (not hard to find documentation on them with a quick search
if the in Xcode tool tip isn't clear enough). =P
And coloring function names and variables names like CodeWarrior did
would be great.
And a faster text field. CodeWarrior can load and scroll through
multi-megabyte files, fast. Xcode can't.
Folks should try Xcode 3.0 and provide feedback on it.
