Apple and its iOS ecosystem has problems, that cannot be denied, but it catches more flak than it should given that the primary competition (Google/Android) is in many ways just as bad or worse.
Xcode gets ragged on all the time for example but Android Studio in most respects sits somewhere between not anything to write home about and bad. Just off the top of my head, dependency management and code stripping are massive pains in the rear (with both being substantially better in Xcode/Swift) and yet there’s never posts harping about those issues.

- cosmic_cheese 2y agoXcode is fine in my experience. At the very least it leaves me banging my head against the wall considerably less frequently than Android Studio does. It’s mainly just a matter of figuring out the antipatterns that make Xcode “angry”, where the bad parts of Android Studio are unavoidable.
