Even though its now probably 20+ years old, the CodeWarrior experience was vastly superior to XCode. For a company with Apple's budget, XCode is a disgrace.

- a4isms 4y agoOh maaaaaahn, do I remember Metrowerks CodeWarrior[1] fondly! Thank you for bringing it up. I also remember using Lightspeed C, which later became Think C.[2] [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CodeWarrior https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CodeWarrior [2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THINK_C https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THINK_C

- josephg 4y agoOh my god, I’ve been using Xcode to make something recently and holy moly it’s where energy and ambition goes to die. The sheer number of bugs in both Xcode and in apple’s APIs is astounding. Constant crashes, unreliable and underdocumented apis. Urgh. I’ve been doing web programming for the last decade or so. When I started web programming, it was a mess of browser incompatibilities and jquery. But now I’d take modern web development over apple’s hellscape any day. MDN, caniuse, flexbox & grid CSS, modern bundlers, svelte and solidjs - this stuff is a delight in comparison.
