Despite the hyperbole, this is essentially true -- Xcode is decent as long as you have fairly straightforward needs, but do anything special (like porting legacy code) and you'll soon run into the unfinished edges. The documentation is sparse and features are incomplete (e.g. just try to add a tool to the build process.)
CodeWarrior has its shortcomings as well (it's best to get a copy of BBEdit and use that as a text editor instead of the built-in one), but the compilers are fast and generate solid code, the documentation is complete, and they've had a decade to polish the product.
The bottom line is "what's your time worth?" Hobbyists, students (or just out of school folks), and the unemployed have an economic reason to hang in with Xcode. Those who have a business need should probably stick w/ Code Warrior (even with the substantial upgrade cost) because you could spend more than the upgrade cost in the time you spend getting Xcode to work for you.
This is the decision you have to make with _any_ release 1.0 product -- to use it now, to wait, or to take another path.
