XCode has always been such a disaster. I've been doing iOS dev on and off for over a decade and while the developer experience was not good at first, somehow it got consistently worse every year.
Even know I have no idea what some unlabeled icons are supposed to mean and have to stumble and guess where critical tools are, discovery is just terrible. Friends who don't have to use it normally react "and people live like this?" when first seeing the kind of things you have to do in a regular daily workflow.
I also decided very quickly to just use two editors way back then - Appcode first and then hilariously even Jetbrains gave up. Nowadays with fastlane I can luckily keep my XCode interactions to a minimum.
