Please support the ability for 3rd parties to extend Xcode via a public plugin API.  Aperture, Visual Studio, Eclipse, TextMate and other applications benefit from this ability.  I would like to see more advanced refactorings, code analysis (think Resharper by Jetbrains) and modeling.

Totally agree ! It would be awesome if XCode officially supports adding custom plugins ! The whole Developer community would get benefited. This definitely makes XCode popular and better.

I subscribe to this. I would like to have everything that everyone else has, and that is flexibility.

I would love to have the option to build my own plugins or get plugins from an Xcode App Store. I'd even be interested in subscribing to features.

We could make xCode better! Just allow us to do so!
