Stay with the M$ way then, it seems to me the less adventurous choice today
It is a question of intellectual curiosity I believe, maybe you are too old and tired to take new risk and have more fun ?

I know that it can be biased, but I am using every day Visual 2003 for my job, producing C++ code, and sincerely, I don't find the tools and doc superior to the MacOSX ones. Maybe it has more sense to use them when programming C#/.Net code, I don't know.
I had to explore .Net to integrate a .Net component in our Qt/trolltech project, to do Olap stuff, I was frightened by the state of the documentation for the .Net components, the learning curve was very unfriendly.
I don't like everything in Cocoa/Xcode/IB, but I feel that your criticism are a bit artificial here. All of us have a lot of different experience in programming; we have to fight with hostile environment sometimes, it is our job : I maintain the server part of our product under solaris, with sunstudio 11 and other tools like xemacs and co...
Xcode is very easy to use, navigating in the project is very efficient, the doc is well formed, IB is very powerful, and the tool are improving a lot every time a version is out.
