Please, you can't ignore that a lots a bugs reports were filled about the Xcode 4 UI a soon as the first beta was released. And it barely change anything.
I hope following version will try to take these reports into account to improve the experience for users that prefer multi-windows editing, but until then, I have the exact same filling about the new UI than Dave has.
