It's the text editing portion of it that's really lacking IMO. It's only has multi-cursor support and tabs (tabs!!) for a couple of years.
- user-the-name 6y agoMulti-cursor support is something I want maybe once every few months? Certainly nowhere near a crucial feature, and barely one that makes a list of nice-to-have things.
- saagarjha 6y agoMulti-cursor editing is frequently a very good substitute for inscrutable vim or awk.
- robenkleene 6y agoValid complaints in this thread, but just a quick correction that Xcode has supported tabs since 2010 (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1184997/enabling-tabs-in-xcode-or-lessening-the-pain-of-not-having-them https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1184997/enabling-tabs-in...).
