- The Code Sense:
I couldn't find a way to make it work like in Xcode 2.x, that is to show the pop-up menu with suggestions every time you start typing a word. For me, the new way Code Sense works in Xcode 3 is unpredictable, unreliable, user-unfriendly and counter-productive.

Until Xcode 3, I have not used Code Sense since v1. I hated it then because it worked wonkily, so I turned it off. I turned it back on with v3 because my fingers were begging me to, and sometimes it seems to work great. It offers suggestions, shows partial suggestions when there's more than one possibility, and generally doesn't seem to get in my way. But other times, it won't offer suggestions at all, or completes an entire word, when there were actually a few possibilities, so I have delete a few characters and press escape to get it back into completion mode. And it'll behave differently at different times when typing the same word.


So I agree. It's unpredictable. I can't just motor along and have it do what I want, or even adapt to what it wants. Instead of I have to wait and see what it's going to do before I can move on.
