Perforce Just Crashes?

Has anybody got the Perforce support working? I finally found the settings in the UI but setting anything in the username/password fields just crashes Xcode immediately.

I'm really disappointed with the difficulty of the Xcode UI. Compared with all of the other applications Apple's developed, Xcode really feels like a hack. There's a lot of promise but the documentation is terrible, hard to use and the whole environment is very unwelcoming. I'm hoping that Xcode 1.1 comes soon and that Apple spends a lot of time thinking about workflow for users learning the environment. Getting properties on the Project to set up Perforce seems like a Windows application. Why not have project settings under the project menu!

It's such a shame because Objective C + Interface builder + Java is so incredibly useful and powerful. I would love to have Apple sit down and ask how to make Xcode as direct and useful as an iApp. Anyone who knows OO programming could do great things with Apple's tools. That's a lot of people and Apple would benefit from thinking of Xcode as a consumer application instead of what seems to be an insider hack. I feel like I'm fighting my way through the difficutly obstacles laid by the UI to use the astounding simple and intuitive programming tools underneath.

Please Apple, give us something great. You're on the right track but Xcode needs nothing different from your other applications: experience, UI, consistency, workflow. Instead we got distributed, introspective, high performance.
