Why not Open-Source Xcode?
Why not Open-Source Xcode?

There have been lots of comments along the lines of "Xcode doesn't do
this" or "Xcode doesn't do that", or "It'd be great if Xcode had this
feature that <such-and-such an IDE has>"... particularly given that
Xcode is used by software engineers (who *could*, in theory at least,
fix the bugs they care about and add the features they really want), it
would seem to make a great deal of sense to Open Source the code,
giving everyone the ability to contribute changes back to the product.
Apple have open-sourced a fair bit of Mac OS X... so why not do the
same with Xcode? It certainly seems to make sense from a purely
pragmatic point of view.
Anyway, just a thought.
Kind regards,
Alastair.
