I've developed a lot of iOS apps for over a decade and have yet to see any semblance of the "nice developer experience" you're mentioning.

  I don't use Xcode anymore in practice (Vscode+React Native here) yet back in the ObjC+storyboard days I loved storyboard and general expressiveness of Objective-C. Sure it had quirks (codesigning issues, weird errors from underlying C-level calls, ObjC "primitives" bot playing nicely with C primitives without boxing etc.) but I generally loved the experience especially around WYSIWYG of storyboards.

    > back in the ObjC+storyboard days That must have been on very, very archaic hardware, by your own words.

    Until you got to code review a coworker's storyboard. The underlying XML was absolutely horrible to deal with. Simply opening a storyboard without editing anything would also trigger file changes. I'm glad storyboards are gone.
