I wish there were third party tools that handled cocoa properly. I can't stand Xcode 4, the whole thing is atrociously bad, especially with limited screen real-estate (I do all my iOS coding on a 13" MBP). With Lion, animations in Xcode now chug and choke.
It really is one of the worst development environments I've ever used. Of course, I'm also spoiled, having used Visual Studio for most of my development career. And though that has its warts, it rarely gets in the way of letting you develop, and when it does, someone, somewhere, has written an extension that fixes it.
- DamagedProperty 15y agoI have a 13" MBP but I also have a 23" external monitor. I love Xcode 4. Much better than 3. I have used Visual Studio and currently use Eclipse at work.
- tmlee 15y agoi am still using a 13 inch 2009 mbp. up-ed the RAM to 8gb and it works great with Xcode4!
- RandallBrown 15y agoI'll take Xcode 4 over the abomination that is VS 2010. It's like VS 2008 but slower and purple. I do hate the way Xcode 4 does tabs though and it's the one thing that I wish it did like Visual Studio.
- stevenwei 15y agoTotally agreed. Xcode 3 was fine, but Xcode 4 feels like they just changed it up for the sake of change without actually adding any improvements. The integrated interface builder is particularly awful.
