What development environments do you use?

Hi,

I'm just getting started on OS X, and I'm wondering what IDEs and/or other development tools the people around here use?

Xcode.

Is there any other real option other than Xcode? I understand that Xcode is just and IDE that wraps command-line-like build steps, but doesn't it also do some "special" things -- like PNG munging and code signing -- that might not be possible in other environments?

Also, in addition to Xcode, I write my own "helper" apps to do certain things. For example, I've written a simple app that generates an FNV-1a hash code for any string I give it.

I have written a few programs in REALbasic, but it's not free, so I moved to xcode. I prefer cocoa to REALbasic now anyway.
