While I'm sure this subject has been discussed before I am now so
annoyed at XCode that I have to vent a bit.
I've converted my fairly large project from CW recently and I'm not
pleased at all. I have seen more spinning beachballs these past weeks
than I have ever seen before. Clicking on a search result - beachball,
clicking on a breakpoint to turn it off - usually beachball and I could
go on and on.
The dog-slowness of the editor is severely interfering with
productivity. I have of course already turned off every feature that
might otherwise have made the XCode editor marginally cool, like
indexing, code completion etc.
Many of my files are large at 3-5K+ lines and there are many of them.
Chopping them up is not an option I want to pursue.
My machine is a PBG4/667MHZ 512MB and a fast internal harddisk. Not top
of the line by far, but under CodeWarrior every editor operation is
_instantaneous_ on that machine. It has always been a pleasure to take
the machine to a coffee shop and work remotely for a few hours. That is
no longer the case.
I would like to petition the XCode managers to deliberately _deny_
their developers faster machines than say a Mac mini. Tell them not to
come back before XCode runs well on that machine. I find the current
state of XCode pathetic.
I can live with the abysmal compile speed but for heavens sake
concentrate on the editor for next version.
