Not just a Windows app, but a 1990's Windows app with an MDI interface. I disagree that it works well on laptops, I think you need a pair of 30" displays to use it effectively. On small screens, it is impossible to "tile" windows so that they are all visible without turning each one into a postage stamp. On a laptop you *need* overlapping windows. Sure Xcode 4 allows multiple windows, but at least one of them must be the humongous fully decorated window for project navigation, quick help, etc. I now edit my projects in Xcode 3.2.6 and build/debug in 4.1. My "integrated" development environment is no longer so integrated.
Xcode 4 has some amazing new features and technologies, but MDI is not one of them. On 2011-07-24, at 2:13 PM, Gary L.
