He doesn't spread false information, does he? He only made a statement for what his intended actions are, and in fact I share his view 100% > the April Dev tools work great.

Hopefully soon we >will have an updated version of Xfree. Yeah so except for people that need the new dev tools (e.g. because they need to prepare their own software for gcc 3 or need some of the bug fixes absolutly), my personal recommendation is to stick to the Dec Dev tools, as I am doing for all my real work (Apr. tools are only installed on a seperate partition). They break things, and if you use the new Project Builder, your projects are converted to the new format, which is a bad thing (TM) if you have to work with people that also stick to the the old tools.
