In terms of debugging you have to treat it like you're running
Windows 3.11.
If something isn't working in a way that makes sense, restart it.
90% of the time that
clears up the problem.
There are bugs in the debugging parts where breakpoints you set from
the console get ignored
while breakpoints from the breakpoints window are still being hit.
So don't count on stuff you
set at the console, you can use it, just don't rely on it to always
be hit.
Maybe in this something helps, I hope so.
What helps everybody is to file bug reports with reproduction
scenarios and crash logs at http://bugreporter.apple.com when you have
problems.
Our experience, as we develop all of Mac OS X, all of the iPhone OS
and apps, and all of the iLife, iWork, and Pro Apps with Xcode, is
somewhat different than yours. The 25,000 iPhone applications that
have been written and shipped in the past 9 months wouldn't exist if
your experience was the norm, not an exception. If you file bugs with
specific cases, perhaps we can fix the cases you find and make you as
productive as other Xcode users.
We welcome criticism and advice so long as it helps the platform and
developers move forward. I only ask that you put constructive energy
behind your gripes (and to spell its name right, as you do).
Chris
