But the patch is available (has been for four months), and functional, and could be applied to the official Qt sources, thus solving the problem until someone new could be found to officially support them. There is still much Xcode does better than creator that makes me, at least, want to continue using it. Like having multiple windows so I can make use of my second monitor easily. Or adding extra files that are automatically copied into the executable bundle, so I don't have to write scripts to do that. Or code signing for submission to the Mac App Store. Speaking of which, Xcode also makes said submission easier, as it is built in. Or... you get the drift. Even with all that aside, there is still the matter of preference - some people are going to just prefer Xcode, no mater how good Creator is. And since it obviously isn't hard to make it work (that patch isn't all that large), and XCode 4 has been out for a while, I have to agree that it is rather inexcusable.

Just my 2¢
