Eclipse is fine when you get used to it. It has a fairly hefty learning curve but when you get there, it's awesome.
- drewcrawford 14y agoXCode has matured very recently. It's gone from worst IDE to arguably best in a very short amount of time. Recent additions include integrated Git, code intelligence so good that it understands C++ templates, in-IDE static analysis, one-keystroke to fix typos in identifiers, etc.
- to3m 14y agoHmm... No scripting. Cretinous window layout facilities. No search and replace in selection. No mixed source/disassembly view. Registers view disappears when as you debug. No keyboard shortcut for rectangular selections. Code browsing menu 'thing' doesn't show structs. That stupid log navigator is too damn narrow, and has a proportional font. Pasting of rectangular selections doesn't work. No column/line number display. Lacks numerous basic simple text manipulation commands.
- mikeash 14y agoIf only Xcode could refrain from crashing long enough to take advantage of those new features. As a Mac dev for about two decades, I find that Xcode has taken a massive downhill slide latel. It went from merely mediocre to nearly unusable in a remarkably short amount of time.
