Wow. That's just SO helpful. Thanks for the lead.

It's perfectly reasonable for a serious, complex, deeply powerful program to come with a learning curve. I think it's more a sign of poor user-hood to try to use such a program without first reading the manual. m.
That's wholly disingenuous. The problem is in transitioning from Xcode 3, most things in Xcode 4 require A LOT of discovering, as the entire paradigm has changed and it's not apparent from the UI where everything is or how everything is set up to work. Xcode 3 was simple: for the basics of building/debugging/running, everything was right there on the GUI in plain sight. That's a good UI design. Xcode 4 imposes a UI workflow on things that you must discover before you can be productive with it.
