Although you must admit that "Xcode" *does* go against the computer- related word capitalization precedent that has been set down by hundreds of thousands of apps before it, where multiple words are squished into one word and each subword is capitalized; BBEdit, DropStuff, TextEdit, TeachText, AppleScript, HexEdit, ColorSync, VoiceOver, etc.

There's symmetry with the fact that "X" is suppose to always be pronounced as "ten" with regards to "OS X", but it's pronounced "ecks- code" and not "ten-code". So obviously this is some sort of "special" form of X that has it's own rules for pronunciation and capitalization.
