I've written bugs about this, and they've come back as "known issues," so I hope they're working on it. Until then, Xc4 is very cumbersome for me to use.
Why do you have to use it? Why not just stick to XCode 3 for a while?
Because then by the time Xcode 3 goes away, none of the things you care about will have been fixed in Xcode 4?
That's a bit like saying that if you know you are going to die in a years time then you might as well do anyway with yourself now because the end is inevitable! I don't know about you but I'd want to enjoy my last year as much as possible!
And besides, we'd be happier for longer!
FWIW I welcome Xcode's redesign, I don't think it's "dumbing down" but rather "consolidating".
But why do you want it consolidated? It's not an iPad or an iPhone, it's a blazingly fast state of the art computer with oodles of RAM, disk space and screen real estate, why clump it all into one window, forcing everything to be moved /removed/summoned, when only one small part of the information need be operated on? Computer OS's started off with one central view port , and then they invented multiple windows as a step forward, so why now move back to a single view port now? Just doesn't make sense to me.
Actually I was really referring to XCode 4 when I said that, but to Mac OS in general, I don't think the XCode 4 Interface is at all "dumb" I just think that it a step backwards.
Cheers Dave
