> All software ships with bugs But some software ships with a lot more bugs than other software does. Xcode has all manner of funky little bugs like this; maybe not in and of themselves worth a blogrant, but Xcode also does routinely crash (every single goddam day in my experience, and that of many people I work with); it does claim unit tests passed without running them; it does corrupt the internal structure of complex projects such that you have to manually start over adding source code and resource file references; it does have many more bugs that require a significant amount of time to track down and work around -- far more than any other software package I use. So I definitely would not begrudge any Xcode user a cathartic rant (although perhaps it's not something that belongs on the front page of HN). (I find myself blog-raging about Xcode's horrid timesinks from time to time, too, e.g. http://masonmark.com/the-xcode-fairy/ http://masonmark.com/the-xcode-fairy/)
