One really embarrassing problem of Xcode is cold start time. It takes around 15..20 seconds on my M1 MBP for Xcode to start into a project. Followup starts are faster (about 3..5 seconds), but come on, on such a machine it should start instantly, and it's a really bad look when a "bloated Electron app" like VSCode starts in a second. The next problem is that some important areas seem to be abandondend. For instance the debugger variable view panel is so extremely bare bones compared to a "proper" IDE to be hardly usable, and nothing has been done about in at least a decade. Next we have that weird 'scheme model' for setting build target options. No idea how any software engineer could come up with such an awkward and unintuitive system when there have been plenty of examples around how to do it better when Xcode was created.
