This discussion is getting quite in depth with argument and counter argument, and pretty interesting, but I'd just like to add a comment to back up the assertion that Xcode's UI is far less flexible to different monitor sizes.
I have several systems on which I used Xcode.
• A MacBook Pro with a 1680x1050 screen – here both Xcode 3 and Xcode 4 work excellently.
• The same machine plugged into a 1080p monitor – here I find in Xcode 3 my work naturally flows onto the second screen and I work more efficiently with more information available and less overlapping. With Xcode 4 I've yet to use my second monitor for more than a documentation window. Xcode 3's UI wins hands down here.
• A 13" MacBook – Xcode 3 is usable, Xcode 4 is unworkable.
• A 27" iMac – Xcode 3 is heaven here – windows everywhere, everything available. Xcode 4 is no better than on my MacBook Pro – the single window just takes up more space and shows no more information.
Basically, if you spend all day working on a 15" MacBook Pro I can see Xcode 4 being rather good. Otherwise, Xcode 3 is *vastly* superior.
