XCode 4 [Updated]

So now it looks like XCode 3 has been discontinued at version 3.2.6.
iOS 4.3 SDK is now being distributed with XCode 4 by default, with XCode 3 still available as a download in the Download Centre.
XCode 4 has been in preview for months now, starting around the time iOS 4 was released, meaning it's been around 9 months from beta to final release. This was signalled as an approaching event with the release of XCode 4.1 for Mac OSX Lion.


Update:I'd just like to add my view on Apple charging $5 for XCode 4 via the App Store. I know everyone seems to be complaining about how $5 is a major issue for developers, but just look at Visual Studio 2010. Visual Studio 2010 Professional is available for $550, so 11 110 times more expensive than XCode 4. So stop complaining, anyway it's probably bundled with Mac OS Lion which comes out this summer.
