If you’re targeting 10.6, you need to be able to debug code on 10.6 - if
your IDE won’t run there, you’re stuck with using a commandline debugger
and you lose a large chunk of the benefits of using an IDE.

(This doesn’t affect me, as I follow Apples lead and don’t really support
any version of OS X more than one major version older than current.)

Cheers,
  Steve
