> It's worth it for the refactoring and #import management alone.

That is something Eclipse does out of the box! Apple really disappointed me with Xcode - it is actually less usable than Eclipse in my experience. This is not praise of Eclipse - it has many issues!

Xcode has refactoring support.

In my experience, it's extremely basic. Yes, it can rename a function or variable, but that doesn't compare to AppCode.

AppCode can do both of those. Want to add a new parameter to a function? AppCode can do that, and put in a default value for you everywhere. Signature modifications are a snap. Plus it searches for possible references to the function you're modifying and can suggest fixes for them too. That alone is with the $99.
