I've heard that the reason for this is the XCode project format. The purpose of AppCode is to be a better IDE for iOS/OSX development. But if the future version targets cross platform development, not meaning cross platform on the host side, but cross platform on the compiler target side; it would probably mean that the project format support should support Makefiles and other build systems; and hopefully that would be integrated in IntelliJ.
