Mostly, it's that the intellisense and interactive debugger systems are streets ahead. Intelisense is basically useless on XCode, and the debugger support is a thin UI layer around GDB (which, very often, just doesn't work. The number of times it'll tell me that a variable is out of scope when it's quite clearly right in front of its nose is insane).
- undees 16y agoCall me insane, but I kind of like GDB + Xcode's wrapper. Yes, once or twice it has said dumb things about variables, but no more so than Visual Studio. Likewise, I can't remember a time when I've seen Xcode's Intellisense-like feature fail, though I can recall several times when Visual Studio's has. (Xcode's method to advance to the next parameter--Ctrl-slash or something--is pretty non-obvious, though.)
