Which Xcode?

[René JV Bertin]

I wonder to what extent Xcode 3.2.6 can be configured to use new clang and the latest SDKs. That's an IDE concept I still prefer: individual editor windows, a separate project window etc. I really don't get that fashion of monolithic interfaces that block everything behind them and make it complicated to do copy/pasting among documents.
