Lynn,
But, you do know that Cocoa is in beta for both Web and Windows and so
therefore makes xCode that much more interesting. RR already has the
Mac WIndows thing down. It seems that Linux is coming along and with
the Web a possibility I still think RR for ease of use and a much much
much more simple interface/workflow is in another league completely
than xCode.
That said, I will be hiring an experienced xCode developer shortly
that will take my RR prototypes over to the iPhone and the Web (beta).
I would love to hire another RR developer but they are hard to find
locally and the end output is for iPhone etc. so I have to put
resources into the Cocoa development and I will continue doing the
Prototypes.

We use Xcode for Valentina Studio, and of course with Valentina for
Cocoa
("we" as in, our poor, overworked development team). Going from
CodeWarrior
to Xcode was not all that easy, even for very experienced C++
developers - I
don't think this is a summer fun sort of thing to do. And since to
keep up
with the Jones on pretty Mac features you end up updating your
projects to
the latest and greatest, if often makes it hard to provide backwards
compatibility with various iterations of Mac OS X.
I don't think you see that much migration now from various RAD tools
to
xCode now. Several years ago, when REALbasic was Mac only, there was
much
more serious competition in the Mac only RAD tool market, and it was
into
that market that xCode first broke. I know of many developers that
jumped
onto xCode and rarely looked back - but their intent really never
was to
support Windows or Linux.
