no reason to keep harping on this stuff.
The point is not to debate which is better as a product, but rather
to compare their implementations of specific features. Obviously it's
pointless to sit around and wait for CW to make a comeback, but
there's no reason we can't hope for and ask for Xcode to adopt a CW-
like implementation of a feature if we feel it was done better in CW.
It would be silly to act as if CW never existed just because it's
discontinued. Copying ideas from other products is a time-honored
tradition in software design and development. That said, when the
Xcode team can implement something even better, Yahoo!
FWIW, I don't think comparing Xcode to CW is any different than
comparing it to Eclipse, VS, or any other IDE, or even other text
editors (I think Xcode would benefit from adopting some features from
SubEthaEdit, for example). They're all products that may have ideas
and features that Xcode might benefit from adopting. (Adopting other
people's ideas certainly hasn't bankrupted Microsoft. :-) I for one
do not care where the Xcode team gets its ideas. Requests in Radar,
emulating CW or VS, or their own creative genius. All I care about is
having the best tool possible if I'm going to use it 50+ hours/week
to earn my living. So what say we not exclude any possible source of
ideas from Xcode debates?
