Mac development

[Alfonso De Prisco]

Hi list,

I'm wondering how C++ developers do program on a Mac!

We find XCode a very rough environment, moreover when we try to debug a 
middle/large sized project.

We know that CodeWarrior, from Metrowerks, has been the reference IDE 
for many years on Mac, but it seems that they recently discontinued that 
compiler.

So we tried installing Eclipse with C++ plugin on our Mac since we hoped 
that it helped us a bit, but we had no luck again: it seems to miss so 
many functionalities that it is unpractical to be used at all.

Maybe we are too much conditioned by the very expensive M$ Visual C IDE, 
okay but, even with all its bugs, we feel so good with it: we can easely 
browse our projects source files (and classes), put a breakpoint 
everywhere and, after we get the execution paused, we can walk the stack 
list, change the value of a variable, move the execution pointer, 
watch/switch all thread contexts, ...
All of this looks so familiar to us that we really miss it on other 
platforms.

Does somebody know about a similar (commercial? expensive?) IDE on Mac 
so that we can productively work and debug our software?


Any advice very appreciated!

Regards,
Alfonso
