I, OTOH, have found every release of Xcode 4 to date far too unstable to wish to use. This isn't by contrast with Xcode 3, as being relatively recent to iOS development, I had formed no attachment to that (if Xcode 3 really was *less* stable, as you claim, then quel horreur). I don't dislike change, I dislike software that crashes constantly. I limit my Xcode use to IB and core data modelling, and use either plain text editors + xcconfig + xcodebuild or AppCode for iOS development. I find either of these a much more pleasant, not to say more productive, experience.
There are some nice ideas in Xcode 4, and initially I rather liked it. I think it has some serious and fundamental usability problems, but they can be worked round adequately with behaviours etc. But ultimately I just am not willing to waste my time with it.
