Well, by 'good' I mean 'better than I remember XCode 1.x having'  
which may well be incorrect anyways. Yea, it's mostly just syntax  
coloring, although it also knows enough to populate the symbols  
navigation dropdown.

It's just always odd to find an editor supporting the syntax but not  
the autoindent, as I find both to be near deal-breakers.

Bug report filed. Any idea how responsive Apple has been to community  
requests? The only thing I've heard of is the whole WebKit/KHTML  
debacle.

Thanks,
Jeff
