For what it's worth, I feel the same. For every huge annoyance,

Well for what it's worth, I think Eclipse is the worst IDE ever.
I blame myself for initiating this. </dead-horse-beating>
Yes, I realize it is beating a dead horse, but maybe something useful
can come out of it. Before settling on the WO5.4 on Tiger hack I did
some work getting the Tiger tools to work on Leopard in conjunction
with Xcode 2.5 for Leopard. When I get a moment I'm going to try to
figure out the rest of the problems but for now I'm just trying to
get some work done. The short rundown is that you'll need to grab
the Libstreams source, provide an implementation for [NSObject
forward::] and use dyld environment variables to preload your fixing
dylib.
Of course this isn't a long-term solution. The long-term solution is
for me to sit my ass down for some marathon coding sessions and write
decent replacement tools since no one else is willing to do it. I
find the current tools so detrimental to my development experience
that it's becoming increasingly cost effective for me to write them
even if I never release them. That's an important point because I
don't think I'd ever be able to sell these tools so I'll have to
justify the cost of writing them based on the benefit of not wanting
to hurl a hammer through my monitor every time I work on a WO app.
The cinema displays aren't cheap so that would be very costly.
Using the Tiger tools for now buys me time, presumably at least until
the next WO version is released which may or may not run on Tiger or
the next OS version is released which may or may not be able to
continue to run the Tiger tools with hacks.
