Just curious, what is lacking in Xcode for C++ development? I've a few years experience with C++ and I find Xcode to be quite nice and usable.

Main things for me are the refactoring, code navigation (find usages is awesome!), and coding assistance. Check those out here : http://www.jetbrains.com/objc/features/

XCode is not cross-platform! It doesn't integrate with other build systems: autotools, CMake, premake, Scons, etc.

depends what kind of integration you're thinking of, I guess?

I assume you know of the 'External Build System' project-level support.
