Eclipse And XCode
December 13, 2006

I'm currently writing code for four platforms, using three IDEs (Eclipse, XCode and VisualStudio), and it's driving me bonkers!

I've said it before, but I'll say it again - why oh why doesn't Apple consider freezing XCode development and switching over to using Eclipse. I know that XCode has some nice features but generally I find it pretty clunky and I can't believe that all the good stuff couldn't be reimplemented as Eclipse plug ins.

Eclipse, on the other hand, is really solid but a little bit lumbering and confusing at times - I'm sure it would really benefit from some Apple user interface input.

So once that's happened (I wish), I just need to convince Whole Tomato software to reimplement Visual Assist for Eclipse, and then I'd be laughing...
