But they don't. They don't store my LD_LIBRARY_PATH or my CFLAGS
there. They don't store my code signing identity there.

No, they should be able to do it in *both* places. These days, many
people don't work for just one company. Like others have said, the
company I work for may be per-project. By all means, if I haven't set
this item per-project, take the default from my address book. But why
not expose a per-project setting for maximum flexibility?

It's not a question of XCode storing "its" information in the address
book. There isn't an "XCode company name" field in the address book.
This comes up again and again and again and again and again and again
and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
and again on this list. Why must Apple continue to ignore its users
asking for this relatively trivial functionality?
