I would respectfully disagree
I don't have a problem with different UI (it is matter of taste)
I have big problems with missing features
it looks weird for such a big corporation as Apple that SCM support (CVS and perforce) was dropped without any deprecation (or maybe I missed that?)
it looks like: ok guys we had a feature for many years, but it didn't work good and we don't know how to make it to work good, so let's drop it altogether
which is ridiculous. (but again we all witnessed Carbon story few years ago)
and it doesn't matter how bad or good CVS or Perforce is.
features like Script menu makes huge difference for many developers
absence of individual file compilation/preprocessing, specifically for big projects with complex compilation/linking options
is quite a "hit" (needless to say that VS has ability for compiling individual files)
so again it isn't GUI that is a problem with Xcode 4, not a $4.99 price, it's a functional backward incompatibility.
I think BBedit team has big opportunity here, I think they should add debugger integration .....
thanks

I believe the sad truth is that when such a sweeping change occurs, the old guard (us) is *never* going to be comfortable with the new system, although new users may adopt it without difficulty. That doesn't mean we can't be productive with the new system, but it's going to take an entire generation or two -- however long that is in developer lifetimes -- for the changeover from an uncomfortable to a comfortable developer community to occur.
