Obviously it's all subjective. I disagree with you as I feel Xcode is a very strong development tool, but in the end it's Java I have a problem with. I don't care how good the tools are, Java is still Java. For me, it sucks the life out of programming. You can say, well that's just because of all of the frameworks, it's not really Java. That's just silly as you *have to* navigate the labrynthe, as you called it, to create anything useful. When I have to wrestle with that garbage, I find no joy in it. What do you feel is missing in Xcode? -Matt @ IPMCC

You see, I do Objective-C development full time, and I just can't see how, assuming you've worked with Eclipse, you can possibly find Xcode to be a superior tools experience. I can readily see loving AppKit/UIKit, and Objective-C is a great language from an "interacting with the frameworks" standpoint, but the tools? Really? If there's one credit I have to give to Java and .NET, it's that their huge markets have spawned truly first rate tools. Xcode on the other hand, while ordained by Apple as the "one true way," has a long way to go to compete for development "acceleration" capabilities long brandished by Eclipse and Visual Studio.NET. What's worse is that by being ordained AND free, Xcode has effectively quashed all hopes for any third party coming along and improving things. It's hard to compete with ordained and free. I love the platform too, don't get me wrong, but the tools have a LONG way to go, and when you talk about development being fun, tools have a huge impact on that, at least from where I sit.

Its been about 20 years since I was a programmer (c) and I was so frustrated trying to find any help on learning a new language. Your blogs have been so helpful and I really appreciate them. Finally, I had some success programing on my macs stupid terminal and x-code. Its starting to all make sense again.!

Geeze. That was long…
