But as I said, you simply then tell Xcode to open two windows. I really don't see what the problem is here. It sounds more like you made up your mind to hate it and nothing else will change your mind.
And I don't get how having one window that takes up the entire screen split into 2 is "tiny little bits of 2 files". I don't use the 3rd pane on the right unless I need to. If I need more space I press CMD-0 and hide the navigator. Or in some cases I actually have Xcode open real windows. But I find the side-by-side assistant view to be what I need 9 times out of 10. And this is both on a MacBook Air 11'' (using it now) or my two 27'' LCD displays at the office.
