Especially given the length as well. It's a small, short list of issues that users of XCode/Apple Developer tools have. Why is this #1 on the front page?

  Because it's by far one of the most annoying issues every developer has with Apple now. It's so frustrating to see the syntax highlighting and auto completion engine crash continuously as you try to figure out what line causes it just so you can rewrite it the more verbose way for the engine not to choke. You may think this has to be a beta version or a newly introduced bug, but no, these issues have been there in the official release for at least 1 1/2 years now. It got better over time, yes, but it's still far from being where it should be.

    > it's by far one of the most annoying issues every developer has with Apple now Every developer on an Apple device who actually makes apps for Apple devices. There are a lot of devs on Macbooks who produce server applications that run on Linux, possibly more than create iOS or macOS apps.

    1 1/2 years? Uh since day 1 of swift at least. Granted it was beta then but you couldn't go 45 seconds without losing syntax highlighting.
