1) Searching in ProjectBuilder is poor.

Complex, not poor.

2) HelpViewer is useless as many have commented.

Not fully true. HelpViewer is useful but it has some problems:
- bad document rendering:
* sample codes of the CFPropertyList documents are for instance really fully screwed.
* some bugs in the blitting code make some parts of the window not to be updated.
- some parts of the documentation organization is really strange: CoreFoundation is a good example of strange organization. But it's not really a problem with HelpViewer
- bad widgets position: I personally hate having the back and forward button at the bottom of the window.
- impossible to copy some parts of the documentation. The copy button on the left of the function prototypes are a huge problem when you use a real Browser to copy the function name. Anyway you can't copy sample code from HelpViewer.
