Hi all,

the people who are lamenting about REALbasic should read this (and then let the list return to be useful again).

I am surprised that this subject doesn't seem to be a big issue here. I have very negative experiences of Xcode, and many people I know share this view. It is slow, crashes often, has a quirky way to report errors, and a horrible user interface in general.

I have yet to see XCode (I or II) crash... or even OS X for that matter. The last time I saw a kernel panic was back in the 10.1 days. As for slow, it seems no worse than RB (but that may just be because I don't use many RB plugins...) I don't know about 'quirky' - it's no worse than any other compiler/IDE I've come across. It would be neat though, if - in IB - you could click on a control and have the code open in XCode, sorta like in RB... :) One thing I did like about CW was the class browser. I'd like to see something like this in RB! Or at least an option to 'filter' the auto-fill list for

* All (all methods of this object and any super)
* Super only (only methods in the immediate super)
* All Super (only methods in any super)
* Me only (only methods defined in the current class)

A window widget would be nice, or something like the selector (?) control for a Window (so you can view either the window layout, or the code.)

It seems as if we will not see CodeWarrior for Intel-Macs. IMHO, this is a disaster. CodeWarrior is a nice, intuitive and mature development system. Without it, it will no longer be possible to use the Mac as primary development platform. Without professional-level development tools, it will be a minor platform that you port to, but not develop for.

Is nobody trying to convince Apple to sponsor Metrowerks to make an Intel-Mac version?



Very tired,
Nils
