Renaming a variable, method, etc., is very keen.  This is what we
have been debating, and it appears I do this several times an hour
when my editor is running.

Extracting methods, variables, and constants is surprisingly powerfu;
I use that dozens of times a day.  A simple copy and paste can do the
basic work of extracting the use you are looking at, but it also
looks for the same kind of code in other methods and classes, which
means that truly common code can get refactored fairly inexpensively.

I would have to agree. Being able to rename a method and have ALL classes that use it updated to use the new name (or method signature) is insanely powerful. Although I love working with Objective-C, I find my productivity drops when I come home to work in Xcode (from IntelliJ IDEA 5 at work). Here's hoping to some functionality like this in Xcode soon! _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
