I stated back when xcode 4 was released that when 10.7 came out, they'd make it free. [1] Just had to wait a while. Xcode 3 has been good and free to use (and still is). [1] http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2311422
Of course, the part I got wrong was that it would be included "on the disc," but one could argue that it is included on the same distribution media.

I'm very sceptical of this Mac App Store. As much as I like the idea (apt anyone? :-D) I am very disappointed by it's performance. Neither on SL nor on Lion does it let me update bought apps. Doing the "drag app to trash, click `install', empty trash" mumbo is not really my idea of "working". If anyone has similar issues, or a fix, that would truly be great!
Found the solution: This happens if you have "Macintosh HD" listed under the privacy tab of Spotlight's System Preferences.

Saving those $5 could just as possibly make him a millionaire. Now, didn't Apple (or at least its fanboys army) said something like they couldn't legally make Xcode free to justify those 5 bucks? I'm perplexed...
The reasoning was that they couldn't release Xcode 4 free for Snow Leopard because of Apple's extremely conservative interpretation of Sarbanes-Oxley. Xcode has always been free with new OS versions. They were only charging extra if you wanted to get it for the old OS. (An extremely low price point like $5 is generally a tip-off that Apple is just charging a nominal fee to satisfy accounting rules.)

We keep an older Mac Mini around running 10.4, 10.5 (and soon to include 10.6) for support of these older systems. We've also found that our universal binary has no issues whatsoever running on Lion, which is a relief as we still prefer Xcode 3.
Is it possible to create a UB for all three architerctures at the same time? (PPC, x86 and x64)
An example of how to do it: http://ngmarley.com/blog/osx-universal-binary/
Anyone know if this will be available though developer.apple.com?

Is that one mac mini per version or is there an easy way to set up multiple installs?

Xcode 4 was in the spring and I'm pretty sure we saw this due to releases of iOS along with iOS 5 beta. Apple can't only tie Xcode releases to versions of OS X anymore, there's iOS they have to think about.
iOS 4 SDK came with a version of Xcode 3, and iOS 5 comes with its own version of Xcode, neither 4.0 nor 4.1 — so it's not inherently tied to the normal Mac Xcode at all. iOS might have had something do to with the early release of Xcode 4, but releasing it for general consumption was a different matter. At any rate, this is not a regressive move for Apple.
XCode 4 requires
