If any Apple docs folks are reading, I just want to put in some feedback:
The Jump Bar is one of the best improvements to Xcode in a long while.
The key feature for me is not so much the bread crumbs trail, though that's pretty valuable, but the instant hierarchic access to a bunch of stuff with a reasonable balance of tree depth and breadth in most subtrees. Handiest when I don't really know what to search for.
And as Ryan points out below, economical use of screen space.

I just upgraded my dev machine to Snow Leopard and installed XCode 3.2 and went to look up some Obj-C classes and everything is wacked. Gone is the filtered search results TableView above my the documentation pages - and its nice sortable columns where I can quickly adjust results. In its place seems to be a crappy HTML/Javascript list view with no sort capabilities at all.

I don't want those - they just slow things down and add visual clutter when trying to find API info - which is what I am after most of the time. Why has the Doc Browser regressed here where before I could make those choices?
