As Xcode 4 is likely to stay as slow as it is now, are there any editors out there that are code aware and good with objective-C?
I will not stop using xcode, it still has great features but just for the writing of the code.
Both Android Studio and Xcode are free. It's only when you want to deploy apps onto your iOS devices or distribute them in the App store that you have to pay Apple $99 a year. Android Studio has background compilation and will quickly highlight errors, while Xcode needs an explicit build stage.
AppCode supports Catch, Boost. Test, Google Test, and XCTest-based testing frameworks (including Quick and Kiwi) out of the box. To create a test, right-click a node in the Project tool window, select File | New | File from Xcode template, and AppCode will generate a standard XCTest test from a template.
AppCode uses the build system bundled in Xcode to build your project and the LLDB distribution bundled in Xcode to debug it.
JetBrains is working on AppCode - http://www.jetbrains.com/objc/
It's in beta and freely available. Worth a look if you searching for alternatives.
