Let me preface by saying I like AppCode a lot more than XCode; given the choice I always work on AppCode.
But, my complaints are:
-Much slower startup time
-All in all, it feels less responsive than XCode when my computer is struggling(I do cross-platform development with Android, so on occasion I'm running Xcode+AppCode+Android Studio at once)
-For projects with multiple targets, changing a file from one target to another does not have a good UX. I work in projects with several targets, and I have to do this more than most developers, and it always takes me to XCode
-Choosing and editing launch configurations has a better UX in XCode
-Editing plist files, project configurations and Storyboards is significantly easier in XCode
-AppCode will occasionally show spurious errors and warnings. It warns me any time I call [UIImageNamed:] with an image in my asset catalog, for example, saying the resource does not exist.
-The update cycle lags behind XCode's by necessity.
