I'll just mention that PB isn't finished, and everyone in the tools
group here is intensely aware of that. Come to the Developer
conference, and I think you'll like what you see ;-)
I must admit - seeing the new tools and chatting with the people
creating them is one of the big reasons I ponied up the cash for WWDC.
Not that you asked, but here is my wishlist of tool improvements:
1. IB being able to read a .java file back in to parse outlets and
actions when I am doing Cocoa-Java. (I now mix half and half. Both
work quite well.)
2. An end to five minute reindexing frenzies when a Cocoa-Java, WO, or
pure Java project is started in PB.
3a. Refactoring and method lookup support like IDEA or Eclipse.
3b. Incremental compilation like the above
or
3c. Appropriate plugins for IDEA and Eclipse for Cocoa development so
I do not need the above as part of PB.
4. EOModeller having a decent layout function for the model in graph
view with two hundred tables (integration with Graffle would work).
5. Recent versions of EOModeller/IB/PB for WO/Windows. (For example,
since IB/Win uses Java 1.1.3, one needs an archaic version of jdbc
drivers. This causes problems.)
