I find CMake tremendously useful, as it lets me manage most of my configuration in a cross-platform manner. I can transparently take the project over to Windows to build with NMake or Visual Studio. I don't use the XCode support very much, as the Makefiles generated by CMake seem to work pretty well.
A nice benefit of Apple's gcc is that it has supported Objective-C++ since Mac OS X 10.1. Unfortunately, I think that non-Apple versions of gcc cannot yet compile Objective-C++. Although it looks like support might be planned for gcc 4.1. Still, Objective-C code will need to be factored away from code that might require compiling with some compilers.
Or is it just me who haven't been following anything in the Mac hardware world for years.
It's not just you. Plenty of people can't get over the single button mouse thing. I haven't used a single button mouse since my Mac IIsi, and that was about 10 years ago. Mac OS X has natively supported multiple buttons since its inception--this is easy to verify by referring to the documentation for NSResponder or Carbon Mouse Events. It's just that applications are generally written so as to not require extra mouse buttons. Apple even sells their own multiple button mouse!

I agree. That color scheme causes some eye strain. Thank goodness for the fuctionality provided by the zap colors bookmarklet.
