Which is why I was asking! Hate to do this, and was hoping maybe TM2  
somehow offers tighter integration. But this sounds like an  
interesting alternative!

How do you debug? Besides the annoying maintaining of project files,  
this is pretty much the only function I use Xcode for, and the  
Debugger GUI is nice (compared to terminal). Or can TM2 talk to the  
debugger?

BTW I replaced NSLog with a more configurable system that prefixes  
output with file and line number, so that in TMs 'Build With Xcode'  
window I can just click on any output and TM shows that line in the  
code. And exceptions work similar, I can just click on any place in  
the stack trace. Very handy! And other than iVars and properties my  
header-files are also all auto-generated, big time saver.

Also do you use git? I have modified the git part in the ProjectPlus  
plugin a lot so that it is much smarter about more complex project  
setups (I have projects heavily borrowing code from each other, and PP  
now tracks that correctly). Wonder if I should try and find the time  
to commit those changes.

Thanks
