Your mileage may vary, but the MW Debugger in 8.0 has proven troublesome so
far. Stepping speed is good, but I can't even seem to step out of a function
in a small test project without hanging the IDE [and having to force-quit
it]. Note that this is using the [recommended] CW Linker with a SYM file,
not the Apple linker. I still have much more testing to do, but I have been
somewhat disappointed thus far.
As far as I know, CW8 will not import a PB project (I hope this has changed
or will soon), so you may be stuck there. Cocoa apps *do* build and work,
though. Package Management has improved somewhat; you can create a plist
file or resource [for CFM standalone] dynamically at build time, which is
very handy. CW8 also has a rather intriguing Code Completion feature that
will drop down struct/class members of objects as you type the names of
objects. Unfortunately, it is easy for your code to break this feature and
it may take some work to make it reliable enough to be depended on. When I
first saw it I was pretty impressed though; it's a good use of the compiled
browser information. I have not yet tested the IB integration, so I have no
opinions on that.
