I have to come down strongly in favor of Xcode 4. I've only been using Apple's dev tools since ProjectBuilder (not Project Builder) but Xcode 4 is definitely the best since then. The built in IB, the ability to view your xib on one side and the related "file's owner" code on the other and then drag connect outlets and actions is awesome. Xcode 4 is new. It has some problems but it's getting better with each release. Apple is committed to it and it's what Apple uses so it will get even better. Honestly, I just do not see what is so appealing about Xcode 3. I've found some features missing (pre-compile for example would be nice to have back) but overall, Xcode 4 is much much better.

Lion makes Xcode on the 11" a useable tool. I can't imagine using Xcode 3 on the 11" Air. Change takes some getting used to and it takes time and a lot of folks don't have or don't want to spend the time. As far as I can remember though (Apple //e DOS 3 to ProDOS), Apple is acting as they always have. Xcode 3 is dead. Your next Mac won't run 10.6. Your PowerPC apps don't work anymore. That's how Apple rolls :::shrug::: Marc _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
