It is way worse than Visual Studio for a simple reason.
Visual Studio at least let you organize your window layout as you want. Xcode does not have any option to choose where each inspector/panel should be. You don't want to have warnings, search results and project browser in the same inspector, you can't,
The problem I think most of us are having with Xcode 4 is the Microsoft concept of "caged windows".
The 'entire app should fit inside one big window' paradigm, as seen in the new iMovie and now in Xcode 4, is a la Microsoft. A friend came up behind me while I was using Xcode 4 and thought for a moment that I had switched back to using Windows. Then it dawned on me. It's very limiting. Even Windows users prefer free windows vs caged ones.
The capability I find most useful in Xcode 3.1 (my current IDE) is the ability to open multiple editor windows for a single source code file, divide each window into any number of independently scrollable panes, and place these editor windows anywhere I want across my desktop, which is distributed across multiple monitors. If I understand the current discussion correctly, Apple has removed this capability for Xcode 4. I hope that I have simply misunderstood the discussion. :-)
