Odd, I don’t really like IDEs but I think Xcode is among the least shitty IDEs out there. Too many IDEs have just terrible GUI design.

- bromuro 6y agoSame here - I like working with XCode because the native UI!
- user-the-name 6y agoYeah, Xcode has some annoying bugs occasionally but in terms of UX, it's miles ahead of anything else I've used.
- ninkendo 6y agoXcode’s main issues are its bugs (which are inexcusable) and the project file format which is way too hard to work with. Why aren’t files in groups sorted by default? Why does sorting them cause large sections of the project file to be rewritten? Why do I need to add files through the UI? (Why can’t I create them in the terminal and have them just show up?) I know that groups vs folder references play a role here but most projects use groups, and groups are a terrible experience. It all leads to constant merge conflicts and files just accidentally getting removed from groups and nobody being able to tell in code review. They need to fix the project file.
