No tool is ever going to completely address everyone's Mac development 
needs, but your rational is mistaken in two points.

a) You can target 10.3.0 with gcc 4 in XCode.
b) While XCode 2 _does_ default to preferring Mac OS X 10.4, the dev 
tools include compilers, libraries and headers specifically to support 
targeting 10.2 and up.
