Right, where's XCode on KDE or GNOME? MIA of course. Where is the XCode equivalent IDE on GNOME or KDE? MIA, unfortunately.

If you spent ten minutes googling, you'd have found KDevelop.
Which doesn't offer the necessary XCode features for Darwin to be an OS X replacement.
We were talking about KDE and GNOME, not OSX replacement.

"Right, where's XCode on KDE or GNOME? MIA of course. Where is the XCode equivalent IDE on GNOME or KDE? MIA, unfortunately."

I'm curious as to which features you think are missing.

We are on "PureDarwin – An Informal Successor to OpenDarwin" thread.

It is all about having a OS X clone, not yet another GNU/Linux userspace clone.

So I am missing:

- Objective-C 2.1 support

- Swift

- Swift Playground

- Storyboards

- Plist editor

- Instruments

- Core Data

- ...

none of which matter in GNOME or KDE, which is what this thread (great grandparent on) has been about.

So, how is your reply not moving goalposts?

"Without the whole Objective-C/Swift userspace libraries it will just look like OS X, but it won't be OS X."

"I cannot seat a Mac OS X user, or developer in front of it, and they will be able to use it just like Mac OS X."

If anyone is moving goal posts it isn't me.
