He mentioned just for code browsing so don't panic. Nobody in their right mind would think XCode compares to Visual Studio. I mean it's 2012 and there is still no refactoring support.


Xcode supports Rename, Extract, Create Superclass, Move Up, Move Down, Encapsulate. http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/ToolsL...

I took a look at Whole Tomato: http://www.wholetomato.com/products/featureRefactoring.asp

A couple of those features Xcode implements using code completion. It looks like Whole Tomato may be slightly better, but your comment is clearly wrong.


Correction: There is refactoring support in Xcode. But it is quite bad.


Can you refactor c++ code in visual studio?



Thanks for the link. It's a shame that functionality isn't built into VS (especially when it costs half as much as VS pro).
