Saying java IDEs are better than XCode is not a valid point. It's an opinion (and an arguable one at that).

As to memory management: given that Cocoa's retain/release/autorelease is not painful and my most agonizing debugging sessions with java all seem to revolve around theorizing WTF the garbage collector is doing and why... Well I think the productivity opinion is arguable as well.
