Ken,
I dont want to start a flame but I would not be as categorical as
you. Yes Eclipse is a better Java environment but the UI design is
bad and the stability is mediocre. My conclusion is that when it
works and you can use the superb Java feature you save a lot of time
but then you have to waste so much of it looking for things and
fixing the crashes.
I am using both environment: XCode with ant and WOProject; Eclipse
3.1 with WOLips 2.0.0.86 and I have very mixed feeling as to which is
the better environment. I am experimenting with eclipse M6 hoping it
will be more stable. I dont want to spend time fixing my development
environment all the time, and Eclipse 3.1 crashes on me at least once
a day.
