I filed <rdar://problem/17316587> on this back in the early Xcode 6
betas. That bug is still open, as far as RadarWeb tells me.

The Jump Bar icon is not an adequate replacement because:

- It doesn't contain a proxy icon for the workspace
- It removes the workspace from the top of the window, which is
especially important if you have multiple workspaces open (merging a
change down to a branch, for example)
- If the last segment of the Jump Bar gets too long, the file segment
truncates
- Even if it doesn't truncate, it moves around, making answering the
question "what file am I looking at?" require a visual hunt around the
screen
- It breaks the visual connection between the Window menu/Mission
Control and the window itself

Here's hoping the Xcode team realizes that, since Xcode is a
document-based app, it should behave like other document-based apps and
keep its proxy icon.
