Previously, I'd use the Option-Tab key command for activating my QuickSilver box. However, after I did the update, I realized the tab key now allows you to key through desktop icons, and, of course, option-tab does it backwards. If this was a previous functionality, it never got in my way before until now.:(
If you're just looking to write little C++ apps to fill in the gaps (hey, that rhymed), then you should have no problem at all. gcc/++ runs from the terminal the same way it does in Linux. Everything is the same, libraries, commands, and all. I frequently work on C++ projects between a Fedora machine, FreeBSD machine, and OS X; and if you didn't tell me which platform I was on, I wouldn't be able to tell you.
Xcode, on the other hand, is a whole other beast. I use it somewhat frequently, but if you're used to working with source files by hand and doing your own Makefiles, then don't even worry about Xcode.
