The question was somewhat tongue in cheek and prompted by the reviews of Xcode 4.3 which we just installed.
How can a company in the country that virtually invented software development release such a crappy product? I would expect this from China, India or Redmond but not Cupertino.
In the last three weeks the time we have lost due to Xcode failures is astounding.
The following is a ridiculous behavior:
1. Build a project and encounter a compile error.
2. Correct the error.
3. Build the project.
4. The build fails because the file dSym cannot be found, dSym was deleted in the previous build step.
So why fail the build because a file that is going to be deleted anyway cannot be found?
The only recourse is to Clean and recompile the entire project.
If we released such a stupid function in a product I am sure the App Store would reject it.
Ergo my question.

If you follow the apple.com addresses on this list, or listen to the developer tools presentations from WWDC (video free to registered developers), it's obvious that they work on the Apple campus, in close proximity to Apple's other engineers.
