CodeWarrior might be the best IDE on the Mac, but it isn't the best IDE of all.<P>Something like Visual Studio is a far better IDE.
MacOS X... is it the GUI or the technology?

it's stupid to try to compare them cross-platform, but you have got to be kidding me! VS has one of the most unintuitive, confusing interfaces I've ever seen. And to think I used to wonder why many PC apps have such bad interfaces...

It is rock-solid, stable, has a great interface, and is generally just a well-behaved program.

Visual Studio unintuitive?<P>You must be joking, right?<P>(Dammit. That's the second time in a many days that I've sounded like Shania Twain.)<P>It's lovely. You have your source down the middle of the screen, the class viewer/file viewer on the left, the the help pane on the right, with the compiler/linker output at the bottom of the screen. It's brilliant.<P>It's a doddle to use.
