I was thinking that for a while, but then I realized that the reason Xcode 4 doesn’t support IB plugins is very likely technical, not political — there’s no way IB plugins could be loaded into Xcode 4, since Xcode 4 uses garbage collection and IB plugins do not. Therefore, it’s still a possibility that Apple could come out with a new, GC-compatible plugin format for Xcode. And they’ll be more aware that we want this if everyone files bug reports. And even if it turns out that it *is* political, Apple does sometimes get forced to change their minds. Just look at the multiple-window support which was reintroduced in one of the Xcode 4 builds due to popular outcry.
