It's amazing to me that when you download the iPhone SDK, it is
bundled with Xcode 3.1. After downloading Xcode 3.1 (1060MB), it is
exceptionally irritating that I now have to download another 1278MB
just to get the SDK! Come on Apple, you are smart enough to figure
out how to test for what Xcode version is installed when installing
an SDK - you should be able to figure out how to package up a 200MB
standalone SDK download!
The iPhone SDK package is several weeks older than the Xcode 3.1-only
package. They just haven't updated it since Xcode 3.1 was released
last week.
Hint: Generally when a reputable engineer (or organization) does
something that doesn't seem to make sense, there's actually a reason
behind it. The reason or response may be suboptimal, but it's usually
not a matter of just not being "smart enough". (This is related to the
principle that other people's bugs are always 'trivial' or 'stupid'
while one's own bugs are 'tricky' or 'subtle'.)
