This makes me wonder whether AppCode is really a niche product for JetBrains compared to their other wildly successful IDEs.
AppCode used to be hands down best IDE for iOS development in times of Objective-C, but after introduction of Swift, it's downhill in terms of quality. One of projects I'm working on doesn't even compile (multiple frameworks and app in monolith codebase). 2019.3 was supposed to improve symbol caching, building module maps and code assistance and it makes little difference for me - I'm still getting freezes for multiple seconds and code completion occasionally becomes available with such delay that I'm done typing what could have been autocompleted for me.
In 2 months my subscription expires and I'm really sad to give up on this product.
Sorry for venting dear HN community, but it's not all roses in JetBrains land.
- dmitriid 7y agoMy feeling is that they have too many projects going at once, and they can't keep an eye on all of them. They still manage to add new features, and fix the worst bugs, but I don't think they have everything entirely under control.
