This is a really silly article. I'm sure you can write C and C++ write code in Eclipse, but Xcode is free and just as good if not better. It either came with your Mac or you can grab a free copy from the Mac App Store. I will also say that Xcode has a much better editor and debugger. Specially Xcode4 which has the most amazing C++ code completion currently available. The point that you should use something different than Xcode if you are writing native (graphical) OS X or iOS applications is odd: Xcode comes with standard project templates to get started quickly with a plain C or C++ command line tool. And what you get then is exactly as in Eclipse: a basic minimal project without dependencies on Cocoa.
