Actually, I think it's more "We should have waited another six months to
release this but for various reasons, (LION) we couldn't, so we're releasing
something that mostly works, but is going to have issues".
I like the little refinements, but I am also unwilling to throw the baby out
with the bathwater. Xcode 4 gets rid of a lot of the baby duck bites I used
to have with 3.2, esp. the "Oh, did you forget to save your IB work? SUCKER"
one. I really hated that. I find it's significantly faster for me to work
with, but since I never touched ASS, my Xcode time, pre-4 was admittedly
infinitesimal. So I never had time to get used to how 3.X did things. Prior
to AppleScriptObjC, and your book, there was nothing on this planet that
would convince me to do doodly squat with ASS.
So my POV is that of someone who never got used to how things used to be.
>From that POV, Xcode 4, even with the bugs I've filed on it, is not complete
garbage, and has been rather useful to me.
