Apple releases new... everything

You can get a list for all of the CMD command functions but it really doesn't describe exactly what they do right off, though I think there is a help command in which you can have it describe what that function does.

I personally have no problem with it. Admittedly I'm no pro, but a lot of people agree with me - if they didn't, there wouldn't be nearly as many Mac and iPhone apps as there are.
Also, read the two next to last comments on that page you linked. They serve as a nice rebuttal to what the site's saying.
Is it perfect? Obviously not, as nothing is. I don't necessarily think making it a clone of every other IDE out there is the solution, though.
EDIT: Oh, and just FYI - the single-window UI he's pushing for IDEs doesn't typically work all that nicely on OS X. Macs have always been centered around each document getting its own window. Personally, single-window UIs make me want to punch holes in the wall... they're really frustrating to try to display multiple documents on unless you have a really large screen.

Having lots of apps doesn't mean a code is "good". Look at flash. Is it the same?

No, but one would think that if Xcode sucked as bad as suggested, it would have some bearing on how many are developed. Also, if it's so bad, why hasn't somebody created their own Mac-native Xcode alternative that's just as complete and powerful?
It's really not that bad. It's simply different from most IDEs and takes getting used to.
