Things that would make the Cocoa / Project Builder / Interface Builder world a better place, one that would make the average enterprise level developer drool? Code completion code-insight, whatever you want to call it. But the little popup's that provide the parameter list for a given method, a popup to offer the closest match as you type for a method name, and a better way to browse documentation (I find that the in application methodology of both Visual Studio and Project Builder is a disaster) to the point where I use a seperate window with the docs in that to be able to work productively as a new to Cocoa developer.

I guess they're following the 'you get it for free, so don't complain' mantra. I'd personally would love if, failing that, Metrowerks stepped up to that plate (they still need to debug their C++ code completion a lot, but that's far harder than doing code completion for Objective-C). As I do cross-platform development and so end up paying for the updates every year or so, getting that from them would make me one of the happiest men on earth.

The other thing the is missing is a data access model. A framework to wrap the fancy ODBC Manager in Jaguar, with some basic ODBC drivers would be a perfect start. Leverage Apple software, and provide a framework to the ODBC datasources and an ODBC driver for FileMaker, or the WebObjects supplied OpenBase.

Well they are running out of things to put in 10.3, aren't they? ;) At least one can only hope...

At the very least they should make it available for OS X server.

Hope that helps.
