As long as you are willing to deal with the breakage from using Xcode 
2.5 (like #13736 et al), feel free to recommend either... I still think 
2.4(.1) is the one to use while on Tiger. But the link is the same as 
ever: http://connect.apple.com

"Xcode 2.5 is a minor update to the Tiger tools that is functionally 
similar to Xcode 2.4.1. It is not considered a critical update. ... 
This release is recommended for developers needing to continue to use 
the Tiger tools while running Leopard, and serves as a transition to 
Xcode 3.0..."

> Also switch to the now more familiar "Xcode" name, as the older 
> "Developer Tools" is apparently being phased out. Closes #12779.

I only use the name "Developer Tools" since "Xcode Tools" is somewhat 
ambiguous and easily confused with Xcode.app even though it also 
installs a lot of BSD tools... But you can say "Xcode Tools 2.4" 
instead of "August 2006 Developer Tools" if you prefer that name (but 
not just Xcode please)

So saying Developer Tools is just a personal preference of mine, that 
extends to FreeBSD and Fedora as well. But the name hasn't been in use 
since Project Builder, when everything was renamed to Xcode. I kinda 
expected Interface Builder to be renamed to Xgui or something too, but 
that never happened.
