+1, I am Xcodius.
In the spirit of positivity and constructive comment. I wanted to add my voice to the support for the way Xcode is going. After the initial short transitional learning curve, I've found most tasks tasks a lot easier and quicker to accomplish than in previous versions.
Apple, keep up the good work. ;-)
David Kennedy,
Another usually less vocal, but happy user of Xcode 4

Never thought about that Xcode 3 was different to Visual Studio, it was just two different programming tools allowing me to create software. Then Xcode 4 was released and I just felt, NO, not again, I loved Xcode 3.2.6 (with all its quirks), why change anything all over again? I want to create software, not learn another programming environment.

But I found out a way to have Xcode 3.2.6 working on Lion and that made me start using Xcode 4 (now 4.3.3) to build my iOS apps.

In my opinion, Xcode 4 is a big step forward, it works great, there have been some crashes (there shouldn’t be but it’s a software created by humans) but in general it works 100%. For example it never suddenly rebuilds the complete project (Xcode 3.2.6 does all the time without me asking for it) which for my C++ template projects takes about five minutes.

In practice this doesn’t matter, as soon as you start doing your programming and focus on whatever problem you are trying to solve, the “programming program” is just a tool that you learn to use (love or hate).
