Any issues? Does it replace 3.2? Appreciate the help/insight.

Plain and simple: Because it's a Developer Preview! :)
(and personally: still crashes a lot on my machine)

And correct me if I'm wrong, but XCode4 still lacks several features.

As long as Xcode 4 is a developer preview instead of a supported release, you are taking a big risk if you depend on Xcode for your livelihood. If you are interested only in hobby work, then the only thing you have to loose is a little hair (yes, there are several outstanding issues in preview 3). Once Xcode 4 is released, I think it provides many compelling features and I will happily move my development efforts over to the new version. Unlike Windows/Visual Studio, Xcode releases are not tied to operating system or library versions, and the Xcode team has made it so that versions 3 and 4 play very well together. So you can use either Xcode 3.x or Xcode 4 interchangeably.

Yes, you can install both. I try to use 4 for all of my development, but not everything works well enough.

Some basic features are also still not working as expected. When you write for Code Sense will suggest a long list for keywords. But the for-loop is still missing from the list. I am sure we all know how to write such a loop but for a beginner it still would be useful as it is in Xcode 3.2
