Another problem with Xcode project is that they can't be edited on a windows computer. The dev that adds an object to a library need to walk to a mac, open the Xcode project make the changes and commit (we haven't found any good remote desktop application for remotely access a Mac from a PC).
The Chromium team wrote a utility called “gyp”, for “Generate Your Projects”, that reads a project description in a platform-neutral JSON format, and generates project files for Xcode and Visual Studio, and also makefiles for Linux.
So in Chromium only the .gyp files are checked in, and after checkout the tool rebuilds the native projects. When you’re adding or removing source files, you just have to alter the appropriate .gyp file and the right thing happens on all platforms.
