Consider things like symbol search, function completion, context sensitive documentation are such useful features for working on large projects such as the xnu, I am rather surprised that the kernel build mechnaism hasn't been migrate to pb/xcode after all those years. jake
What makes you think that pb/xcode have any sort of monopoly on those sorts of features?
Context-sensitive documentation is not very useful when you're working on the implementation - documentation doesn't exist for the vast majority of the code. The other features you name (and more) have been present in other development tools (consider e.g. emacs, cscope, various tags implementations) for decades.
Speaking for myself, I use cscope, global, cflow, emacs with a modified version of Jason Evans' macros, indent, xterm, make, gdb and assorted general shell tools.
