This might be difficult to communicate, but I feel like XCode has me spending way more time and clicks on window/pane management than other IDEs. Apple's design philosophy is to keep things minimalist and hide controls which are not in active use. This means I find myself going back to click on small buttons in order to bring up a pane that will finally allow me to just to click on one icon I need to perform some task. Whereas in other IDEs can I force an icon to stay visible and spend much less time traversing the application's UI. For an analogy, imagine using a workbench and being forced to put each tool back into it's respective drawer once I am done using it - even though I will certainly need to use the tool again very soon. Whereas other IDEs let my workbench be as customized and cluttered as I want it to be.
