Xcode, there's this thing about you.

There’s this curious thing about working on Xcode.

I’ve never seen myself, upon finishing a project, go immediately back to the IDE and start on a new one. Has never happened to me back in my Windows days with Visual Studio 5.0, 6.0, .Net and what not. Has never happened to me with NetBeans and whatever other incarnation of a Java IDE for school.

Maybe its just being a fan boy, but seriously, an IDE? Comparing Xcode to something that is more featured and complex like Visual Studio, you get a feel that Xcode is not truly in the the same game.

Hell, for newbies going to Xcode for the first time, its the most unintuitive POS ever. And yet, it still is a joy to work on once you get the hang of it.

I sometimes think, Objective-C has a part to play. But I can’t be sure.
