What's so bad about it? I use it for native OSX development with C++ and I have found it very useful, particularly with integration into Instruments for monitoring memory usage, network usage, thread behaviours, as well as the static code analysis for finding dead stores, memory leaks, pointless bits of code etc. (very useful!) The navigation bar makes navigating the projects easy enough, plus I have added steps in the script sections for builds to package up 3D models/resources into the app, set dylib target references, bundle resources into the executable etc. Finding where functions are called (callers and callees) from the quick menu is a lifesaver too. I find that I miss the back/forward buttons when I use anything else for editing. As the project is quite large I could not possibly imagine doing this in a text editor.
