I wonder to what extent Xcode 3.2.6 can be configured to use new clang and the 
latest SDKs. That's an IDE concept I still prefer: individual editor windows, a 
separate project window etc. I really don't get that fashion of monolithic 
interfaces that block everything behind them and make it complicated to do 
copy/pasting among documents.
