I'm not really a Visual Whatever expert, but I'm sure there are a lot
of things which make coding on Xcode easier than in VC++ as well. It's
just a matter of watching out for the strengths of the Macintosh
platform. Do you have NIBs on VC++? ZeroLink? Something like Cocoa?
Actually one does not need ZeroLink on VisualC++ because the link phase
is quite fast when compared to XCode. Generally XCode is an order of
magnitude slower on any build operation (and I compare my 2xGHz G5 with
a Dell 1.7Ghz Laptop, seems like a fair fight were the mac starts as the
expected winner to me...). NIBs and Cocoa are a plateform thing, not a
spec of the IDE. As soon as you need you be multiplatform Cocoa is not
an option. The strengths of a platform are really a function of your
target as a developper and in many cases the MacIntosh is an attractive
one but that doesn't mean we should ignore its weakness ;) . In the case
of XCode: unstable and slow software is a weakness, and I have to deal
with it every day of my work life :).
