   Why do you love xCode so much? I really hate it, even for  
ObjectiveC. For Java is really really bad, there was even a version  
(the one than included WO 5.3.1 I think) where the Java errors were  
displayed simply as "error", with no explanation or even the  
offending code line. Is that a good IDE?

   It's not elegant at all. It's confusing, over-simplistic in some  
ways, over-complicated in other ways. It doesn't do ANYTHING for you.  
Look, I simply don't have to deal with imports, in Eclipse. How can  
you even tolerate the fact that you have to manually write all the  
import statements on every class and keep them consistent? I have  
classes where I have more than 30 import statements! I *don't* want  
to deal with that. I want the IDE to do that for me. And Eclipse does.

   Initially, I had the same reaction as you. Nothing worked, lots of  
bugs, etc. But today, things (Eclipse and WOLips) are *much* better,  
and if you make an effort to overcome the it's-not-an-Apple-product- 
so-it-sucks prejudice, you'll see you'll learn to love Eclipse.

   Don't take this personally, sometimes things in mail (specially  
written for someone like me that doesn't speak english as the main  
language) may seem rude and offending, that's not the point. I'm just  
saying that *I wish* I could use Eclipse for every programming  
language I have to work with. It's just that good. I really don't  
find any advantage in xCode. Not a single one at all.

   Yours
