Xcode 2.3 works
so well, these would make it perfect!
Xcode works well? That's news to me. As far as I'm concerned, it's a
steaming pile of shit.
1) It's too damn slow. At times, I can type faster than it can
process the keystrokes.
2) It's too damn slow. I once opened a 100kb source file. It took
Xcode five minutes to open the file and syntax-color it.
3) It's too damn slow. Any time you modify and save a header file, it
takes 30 seconds or so for the spinning pizza to stop.
4) It's too damn slow. It never takes less than a second for Xcode to
respond to any UI action, and often it takes long enough for the
spinning pizza to show up.
5) It's too damn slow. When doing a "find in files", it takes 10-15
minutes for the results to show up. "grep" would be better, except
that a recursive grep does a full-text search of hundred-megabyte
temporary files. A spotlight search would be better, except that it
doesn't highlight results within files, just which files match.
6) It doesn't support separate "debug" and "release" versions of libraries.
7) It doesn't support alternate compilers.
8) It uses too much memory -- I've got a gigabyte in my computer, and
linking sends the computer into a half-hour frenzy of thrashing the
hard drive.
9) It produces huge executables -- the debug version of our program is
just over a gigabyte in size.
10) The UI is about as un-Apple as you can get. When I'm using a Mac,
I don't expect to need to refer to the GCC man page on a regular
basis.
11) I'm sure I'll think of more problems later.
