This looks like a reasonable list, however I think the overarching view is that with all of Apple resources (money, etc.) they should be able to point some of them at XCode. This may involve hiring developers or shifting priorities from other projects. Either way, it's something that most developers feel is necessary and good.

Then again, maybe this is another way of saying that Apple really doesn't care about professional programmers and their needs. Similar to the feedback around the latest MacBook Pro specifications and the lack of movement in the Mac Pro and Mac Mini machines.
