Apple Releases Xcode 4.3, Now Offered as App Instead of Installer - MacRumors.com (http://www.macrumors.com/2012/02/16/apple-releases-xcode-4-3-now-offered-as-app-instead-of-installer/)

Now the question I have is do I remove the version I have now and then install from Mac App Store or will installing from Mac App Store update the version I currently have installed?

Install the App Store version.

On first launch, it will detect the previous version of XCode (and the /Developer/ subdirectory at root) and ask if you want to delete them.

Yep did it and forgot about this post. What I don't know if there is anything I would need inside that Developer folder. I can always go bac to Time Machine I guess if I need it.

Yep, Apple seems to be hellbent on alienating everyone who does dev work seriously as well as engineers and other professions.

By the time ML hits I expect to be using M$ for everything but surfing online and iTunes.

I don't know, things evolve. M$ has made changes to Visual Studio that I don't like but hey if you stick in the past you will be left behind.

I don't want to go back to writing COBOL.
