Wait, you need an apple ID to download xcode ?

I thought there was a quick, scriptable command-line method of downloading xcode:

  xcode-select --install

It used to be that you could download Xcode outside of the App Store, or without an Apple ID, but it seems that they have changed this.

xcode-select only installs the command-line tools, not the full IDE.
