I remember a few years ago, at a WWDC session on Xcode, the presenter was talking about version control improvements.

He said something to the extent of "Xcode has a robust version control system" and the crowd laughed. And the presenter got offended, said it "wasn't nice" of the audience to laugh considering how hard-working the Xcode team was.

My recollection is blurry so it would be nice if someone else remembers this too.

But if that's really the attitude within Apple or the Xcode team, don't hold your breath for improvements.

Edit: changed my paraphrase of the presenter. since I remember it a little better now.

Well gee they are working so hard so we shouldn't criticize obviously. Golly all that hard work, so nice that it exempts them from derision for their substandard product.

Can someone link to a video of this session, or the title and the year WWDC was held?

I would guess "Source Control Management in Xcode", 411 from 2012: http://asciiwwdc.com/2012/sessions/411

The videos from many WWDC sessions are altered. So even if you got the right session it may not have this. I've been in sessions where much less interesting this have happened that haven't made it in to the video. Also last WWDC they started pre-recording sessions so they could be up on the web sooner. Many of the video sessions from last year don't have any audience noise and differ significantly from the live session.

So... they just don't know it's bad?

I'd guess it's more like they choose to ignore it.
