- is there a way to use project builder on panther?
AFAIK, No.

I'm not sure what AFAIK means but does this mean that if I build with
PB under Panther, the program build will not run under Panther. Will
it run under Jaguar?
AFAIK = As Far As I Know
I don't know whether Project Builder will work under Panther, and I'm
not going to try installing it on any of my systems (because doing so
could very well break something). Even if it does work, Apple are very
unlikely to support it. Just use Xcode.
From the comments on this list, it looks like Xcode is too buggy for
serious work. Do I need to go back to Jaguar if I need want to develop
on Mac?
I don't think that's fair. I suspect Apple are using Xcode every
day... indeed, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that they use it to
build most of Mac OS X.
Yes, there are a few problems, but that's hardly surprising, and I
imagine that most of them will be ironed-out fairly quickly. Most of
the problems I've seen so far on the list haven't been show-stoppers,
and Xcode has a *lot* of new features, many of them pretty handy
(including the support for different SDKs, so, for example, you can use
an OS X 10.1 SDK whilst running on OS X 10.3 and avoid even
accidentally building code that won't run on 10.1).
Could it be that Xcode is today's MPW something Apple will drop and
leave users high and dry? Maybe the solution is to use non-Apple
development systems.
Well, there's always CodeWarrior, I suppose. I don't really think
Apple are going to leave us high and dry with Xcode, and anyone who
says otherwise is scaremongering, IMHO.
Kind regards,
Alastair.
