XCode 4... where do I start? It's slow, buggy, unstable, slow, bloated, slow, and Apple yanked a lot of useful features, like plugins. So now there is no easy way to get rid of the trailing whitespace XCode loves to insert. External editor support is also missing, so vim users like me are SOL. It's really slow too.
Enough grumbling for now... back to work. In XCode 4.
Edit: to qualify my claims.
Slow -- Need I say more? I'm on a MacBook, 4GB of ram, pretty standard hardware. I can't even scroll without stuttering. Apple: at least support your own damn baseline.
Buggy -- The split view is so broken. And tab titles aren't always updated when switching files, which hugely hinders usability. And it sets CC=llvm-gcc... why, why, why, why?!?! There's more but I don't feel like getting into it.
Unstable -- crashes about once a day, more if I'm swapping devices or using Instruments.
Bloated -- 10GB? Really? I didn't realize rounded corners and a compiler took up so much space.
