Xcode 4

Posted in Linked List on Mar 09 2011


Xcode 4 has been released. The new integrated UI looks nice. I've never been a huge fan of the old floating window style UI, although it did work well for Metrowerks CodeWarrior.

Interestingly, Xcode 4 is now available from the Mac App Store for $4.99, although it's still free if you download it from the Apple Developer site. I suspect the only reason it's not free is to prevent a slew of people who shouldn't be downloading it from doing so and costing Apple a huge chunk of bandwidth. Fair enough I guess.

I really wish Microsoft would release the full version of their developer tools for free. Their "Express" versions are decent, but they are missing enough key features that it just doesn't work for me.
