I liked the post and the general message, but the 'Avoid Xcode' part is rubbish.
You shouldn't make such assumptions when you don't fully know how to use a tool, specially when you have such large audience.
- bengotow 14y agoI agree with this point. A lot of RubyMotion fans seem to be trying to build an app for iOS while learning as little as possible. While that's great if you're on a tight deadline and want to play to your strengths, Xcode is an incredibly powerful tool and features like the static analyzer, visual debugger and core data visualizer shouldn't be thrown out because some command line utility will let you Build & Run.
- ef4 14y agoIt's not a question of learning something new. It's that there's a fundamental, philosophical split between people who hate IDEs and people who love them. It's one of those long-running holy wars of programming that goes back way further than iOS development.
- gte910h 14y agoA lot of people who use Xcode don't realize you can use many of those tools without it A lot of people period, don't bother to use the analyzers and instruments.
