Why $5? Seems to be a bit random.

#32Why is nobody mentioning that Xcode 4 is not a free download? It's only free if you already paid $99 for the developer account. It's $5 for the rest of us. Though $5 is not a huge amount, it's difficult for me to send that money to Apple. All I have is a debit card. Getting a credit card is impossible for Indian students. I'll have to call an "adult" (I hate that word) and convince them to let me use their credit car…
The most annoying part is not that it costs $5. It's that Apple is going to milk those $5 with every update.
Yes, Xcode 3 is still free, but for how long? Suddenly Microsoft starts looking a lot nicer...

#34The one thing that Xcode 3 does better for me: My main monitor is in portrait orientation. A UI based on a single window with vertical panes doesn't really jive with that.
View -> Assistant Layout
