Woohoo! XCode 4 rocks! Finally I can use it in a production environment. It was too buggy in the past.
One of my peeves about XCode 3 was all the bugs, bugs that no IDE should have. I hope this release is far more stable and usable. As it is, what is XCode 4s default compiler?
Sweet! I'm only wondering when the next step with Lion will be. For Leopard, it was previewed first in June 2006 (WWDC), shown in depth June 2007 (WWDC) and released in October 2007.
Man, if WWDC is a combo iOS5, iPhone 5, Lion all together?! My brain would explode.
Gee you forgot about the desktops and laptops. While arrival appears to be pushed out due to Intels screw ups many of us look forward to old school Apple hardware.

I've been using 4 for a couple months now and it is a nice upgrade. I've had bad luck with LLDB though. Many times I'd get a crash when starting a debugging session, and subsequently the debug_server process would ramp up to 100% cpu and need to be killed of manually. Also LLDB didn't step over lines properly where GDB did. I'll have to try out the new version and see if they've made any progress on the LLDB.
LLDB was very early in development. If you visit http://llvm.org you can check out the project's growth via it's source.
The Xcode 4 package includes software development kits for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and iOS 4.2.
So will XCode 4 drop development support for previous versions of OS X and iOS? Apple typically includes optional SDKs for previous OS versions. I would expect at least a 10.5.8 Leopard SDK and iOS SDKs back to iOS 3.1.3.

What do you think? Xcode 3.1.4 still includes SDK support for 10.4.11.

I'm predicting that Lion will be better than Snow Leopard, but not as big an upgrade as Leopard (my personal favorite).
But this is going to be a wonderful spring/summer!
-March: Announce iPad 2; Preview iOS 5, maybe Lion
-April: Launch iPad 2
-June: iOS 5, iPhone 5
-August(?): Lion
-September: the usual iPod refreshes

I believe it's LLVM.
