As daily user of Jetbrains’ software (and someone who agrees with TFA about xcode) I don’t want Apple anywhere near them
- BoorishBears 1y agoSo as a daily user of Jetbrains software, who also finds XCode awful, you would not want XCode replaced by a Jetbrains project that isn't hacked together and reverse engineered like AppCode was? Or you just wanted to be dramatic?
- TheOtherHobbes 1y agoWhat would actually happen is that all of Toolbox would be replaced by Xcode. No one wants that. I'm sure Apple's Dev Tools team reads HN, and it's baffling they just don't care that the product has such a bad reputation. Or if the team cares, some layer of adjacent management clearly doesn't.
- BoorishBears 1y agoHN users are some incredibly exhausting people to deal with sometimes > or maybe even better, sizeable investment in them so they maintain autonomy and build a warchest to survive the current AI wave. Just wow, like trying to talk to an LLM that poluted its context window with the wrong idea then hyperfixated on it ad infinitum, Jesus Christ.
- estimator7292 1y agoThis would result in every current JetBrains user in every other language on every other platform suffer. That's a pretty big chunk of all programmers everywhere
- BoorishBears 1y agoPlease tell me how > or maybe even better, sizeable investment in them so they maintain autonomy and build a warchest to survive the current AI wave. Somehow harms Jetbrains.
- wqaatwt 1y agoApple would abandon other IDEs and shitify AppCode over time. Ideally they’d do what Google did with Android Studio. Of course Apple would never openly admit that their product is inferior to that of any of their competitors..
- zt64 1y agoI also agree, I would not want this to happen.
