If you develop for iOS|macOS professionally, you may be interested in Jetbrains' AppCode [0].
Note: I'm not connected in any way to Jetbrains, and I have not used AppCode myself, but I used other tools from them, and they're quite competent, I'd say.

- w0mbat 5y agoApple professionals use Xcode. Using different tools than the ones Apple uses leads to a lot of problems that Apple are not interested in fixing. The days when a company like Metrowerks or Symantec could be a viable third party IDE supplier are long gone.
- jakeva 5y agoI don't do Apple development as much anymore, but I used to write in AppCode a lot and used Xcode only to build.
- w0mbat 5y agoAlongside Xcode I find BBEdit very useful for editing data files, diagnosing merge problems, writing shell scripts, etc. I still do almost all my real coding in Xcode to use the autocomplete. Tower is useful for anything non-trivial in Git. For basic operations the Xcode Git support is useful.
- selcuka 5y agoI believe AppCode uses XCode behind the scenes for most of the magic stuff anyway. It's just a more capable facade.
- dagmx 5y agoAppCode uses xcodebuild etc under the hood and xcodeprojects to configure the ide. You aren't going to get any bugs in the compilation etc process than you would in Xcode.
- bdittmer 5y agoXcode as an IDE...and at a certain scale a build system like bazel or buck.
