Building castles in the sky while the foundation is rotting away :/ Xcode really needs a couple of years of pure bugfix and optimization releases instead of hype-chasing.

Honest question.

I've been using XCode for 10 years. For me, it's only improved and I don't have any real pain points. They are definitely fixing bugs. I make software for iOS, macOS, car play, and apple watch.

Sure sometimes I've got to reset or clear a cache, but this has never stopped my day.

What is so horrible about XCode?

I have never used any other IDE where quitting and relaunching it would fix build errors.

And, this isn’t strictly XCode, but my least favorite thing about writing apps for apples platforms is all the admin overhead. You need an Apple development account, signing certificates, app groups, entitlements… just let me compile my code man.
