Oh it's definitely nicer than VS or Eclipse or NetBeans or the many other IDEs with crap design and poor layouts and even worse stability, but it's still gotten worse over the period of time I've been using it. I'll still use it as it's still significantly better than most IDEs, but I do hope they take some time to refine it again.

I missed Project Builder, it was just slightly before my time so I won't comment too much on that.
