+1 on this! I too love Xcode 4. Sure it was a transition from Xcode 3. It's way more stable and interface is vastly improved.
I never understand how upset developers get about ANY sort of change to their IDE. Change is a part of good software development. We as developers should understand this better than anyone! If it wasn't for CHANGE we would all still be using vi or emacs! (Sorry vim and emacs lovers)
Anyone who is still hanging on to the past, watch some of the Xcode 4 workflow videos from WWDC. You might be surprised that most of the things people complain about can be done in Xcode 4.
Another Xcode 4 lover,
Todd

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).
