I have Xcode4 but only to play with my new ipad :-)  I'm actually more productive with Xcode3 because not all of its features are available in Xcode4 yet.  The integrated interface builder is pretty nice though.

GNUstep has its own set of makefiles, so its build system is separate and thus not affected by Xcode.

cheers
