as one of many engineers mandatorily migrating to XCode, (after 13+
years of CodeWarrior), I would like to say it would be nice if Apple
engineers and managers would pay attention to these REAL WORLD
benchmarks and try to _make_an_attempt_ at getting close to the
productive development environment we are used to on this platform..
Yes please. As it looks like, Xcode will soon be the only available
IDE for native Mac OS development (until someone writes a plugin for
Eclipse, I hope). It is definitely a step forward from
ProjectBuilder, but for those of us that come from CodeWarrior, it's
a huge step back in terms of performance. Xcode is nice for creating
a small Cocoa app from scratch, but it's having a hard time dealing
with large C++ projects.
it would be a shame if Apple focused on 'window dressing', and 'nice,
but not necessary features' instead of these glaring defects, because
'they can'..
Yes, I would love Apple to adopt the design approaches they use for
things like iChat or the iPod to our developer tools: Take those 5%
of features that the users spend 90% of their time with and make them
robust and efficient. I usually spend most of my time in the editor
or the debugger (I'd love to spend not as much time compiling as I
do) and unfortunately the editor speed (or the lack of) is one of the
weakest spots of Xcode. I don't care if it's the AppKit's fault - I
couldn't care less if Xcode was written in MFC or Motif, as long as
it works. If NSTextView doesn't cut it, don't use it.
please focus on the things we do _hundreds_ of times a day, instead
of things we _may_ do once a month..
At the current pace, I can't see our team using Xcode for everyday
work. A 15 minute rebuild pause after every little bugfix to wait
until you can test it is just wasted time.
