I'm over it… actually, there's a lot to like in Xcode 4, it's just that quite a bit of baby seems to have gone out with the bathwater. The IB integration is dire, for example, and I keep losing where everything has gone (if it's still there at all). Seems to me that trying to bury everything in a one-size-fits-all "neat" UI is a bit pointless because it's a tool for developers, not typical Mac users. > > Sometimes it pops up a little way. > > Sometimes it pops up a long way. > > Sometimes it fails to pop. > > Sometimes it pops but when you stop the app it doesn't pop back down. > > It's non-deterministic programming!

Well, that would probably be because of the wild untamed beast that is NSSplitView. Why they can't just give up on that piece of s**t and rewrite it as NSSplitView2 (NSSplitViewThatWorks, NSRationalSplitView?) or something I do not know. There seems to be a tendency in Cocoa to overload classes and stick band-aids on them rather than just offer new versions, etc. e.g. adding a view-based 'mode' to NSTableView instead of making that a new class (I'm only picking on that one because it comes readily to mind, not because it's the worst offender). --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
