Maybe I have good news for you, then.  I have used the XMEGA-A3BU Xplained with AVR Studio 4.19 and AVR Toolchain 3.3.1.  I have met no problems, in spite of what has been said here about AVR Studio 4.19.  It boots completely in five seconds on a three-and-a-half year old dual-core 2.1 GHz Athlon machine with 4 Gbytes.  Except that the UNIX shell command is missing, AVR Toolchain works just like WinAVR.

I also abhor the inlining of library functionality.  GCC does a perfectly good job of inlining small functions anyway, so it is completely unnecessary.  However, I really don't use any Atmel library functions, so this doesn't affect me much.
