Have you been upgrading your Xcode installations or starting from scratch?
I got my Mac in 2010 and was having major Xcode problems with 4.x but I had to nuke my computer when 10.7.2 came out and I've had almost no problems since then with a fresh Xcode 4.2 install.
Not trying to apologize for Apple, Xcode does seem to have some serious problems, but figured I'd throw out how I "solved" my problems.
- mikeash 15y agoAs of 4.3, Xcode is a self-contained app, so this can no longer apply. I haven't heard that 4.3 or 4.4 are behaving much better in this regard. I've also used more than one fresh 4.2 install which was terribly unstable.
- reidmain 15y agoThat's unfortunate. I'd be interested in knowing how many people at Apple actually use Xcode daily (and how many of those are the developers who actually work on Xcode). Apple has grown a lot in recent years and I'm sure a lot of the new blood grew up on Xcode 3 but I've heard from friends that a lot of the old guard at Apple continue to use things like emacs/vim.
