I really dislike this article. It seems strongly biased. I Don't have much experience with XCode but I never particularly like it so I'm not going to comment on that but what I want to comment on is the way the author talks about the Android environment it's very dismissive and doesn't sound like someone that used too much.
In the first round there is a whole paragraph talking about Eclipse that has been discontinued as the go-to IDE for years now.
> Guys from Google are currently working on a new Android Studio IDE. Some functions haven’t been either set up yet or implemented, which might in turn cause mistakes
The features missing wont affect 99% of the dev. The only "big one" I can think of is c++ debugging(or so I have heard)
The part about the UI is again strongly baised, yes in Android you can use XML but there's also a graphic editor(not amazing tho). What it is not saying tho it's that it's pretty easy to write that XML and it's quite fast to work with. As for the looks, it's personal.
For the programming language I can agree on Swift, it looks cool. Worth pointing out that Kotlin is pretty nice too.
The other points I guess I can also agree with.
- on_and_off 10y agoI had to check the date of the article. Mentioning Eclipse and the speed of the emulator ? When has this guy worked on Android for the last time ? 3 years ago ? This sounds like a joke article tbh.
