Who else is reverting to 1.2 ?

Xcode 1.5 feature list was impressive enough that I wanted
to switch.

Xcode 1.5 use-ability is such a step backwards that I'm reverting
to 1.2

Can't compile my project
- my project (350+ C+= files) used to compile with 2 warnings.
- I spend the whole night fighting the hundreds of errors and
  warning I got with 1.5. I give up.

Acts like I am not in control anymore
- why does 1.5 decide which window should be in front, when
  I'm perfectly focused on the one I'm reading now?

Wastes too much screen real estate
- what is this large 20 ish horizontal pane right below the
  toolbar? 1.2 was *at least* as usable without eating into
  *my* visual space.

Has display glitches even a Windows gui would be ashamed of
- in the customize toolbar pane, the popups (target, style ...)
  look like they have been hammered in the middle.

I probably would have staid with 1.5 if it had been billed
as a beta release. As a final, *three* revisions up release,
if feels like a botched job some marketing guy decided to
push out the door even though the whole team knew they're
were still major issues.

Apple has accustomed us to the highest of the standards.
To reach for less is to reach for Windows.
