No advantage? On MacOS Xcode builds sources _at least_ four times as  
fast as gstep-make. This is mostly due to
a) PCH support
b) multi CPU support
Not to mention that you can include networked machines in a build  
(distcc). Another advantage is that fix&continue works. etc etc


However, Xcode files have a HUGE disadvantage - they are just  
archived object graphs and cannot be usefully diff'ed. Which more or  
less makes it impossible to use in teams. (maybe one could use the  
new Svn locks ...)

BTW: I've added preliminary PCH support to my branch of gstep-make.  
This just needs a bit of bugfixing (it has bugs), but I suppose  
Nicola just won't find the time to do it :-( In case someone is  
interested:
