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?

If nothing else, an update to the pbxproj file format would be life changing. Most of my time fighting git is dealing with project file merges.

You can work around this by putting most of your project in spm packages and making the Xcode project a small shim that depends on the other packages. Tuist makes this even better, it generates the Xcode project so you don't commit the pbxproj files.
