The problem is that the two people who did the main development of the 
ide, don't have any time at all anymore to work on it. So the textmode 
ide development is indeed stalled currently.

Yes, it's a complete gui environment with forms designer etc.

Personally, I think it would be more useful to get XCode (and 
afterwards possibly Interface Builder) support working on Mac OS X. 
However, I don't have a clue as to how to accomplish this. I guess the 
xcode-users list at 
"http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/xcode-users" would be a good 
place to start.

You are of course free to pursue whichever project you find most 
interesting.
