I never really liked ProjectCenter either, so most of the time I work in vim.  
CodeMonkey is starting to look nice, but needs a bit more work before I'd 
recommend it.  I know at least a couple of GNUstep developers (who I won't name 
and shame) use XCode and then copy to a VM to test with GNUstep, which is 
another option if your acquaintance has a Mac.  Recent versions of XCode 
irritate me in myriad small ways, however.

Clang now has some very nice support for Objective-C code completion and syntax 
highlighting in the libraries, so adding [Objective-]C[++] support to 
CodeMonkey is (somewhere) on my TODO list.
