Eric Building things Swift in XCode is very enjoyable, so quick to throw things together.
Xasasfdasfd Wow, either they fixed a whole mess of things for Swift, or you're building much tinier things than I worked on in Objective-C, or...something. XCode has been hands-down the worst IDE I've worked with in over a decade.

Mark Dain What didn't you like about Xcode? It's been alright for me, although has messed up a few times. It's git integration sucks and some of the project details are confusing and buggy, but in general it's alright for me. Better than Android Studio anyway.

Xasasfdasfd Slow on large projects, multiple crashes, impossibly bad git integration, habit of keeping old build artifacts around without explicit clean, the usual Apple habit of pointlessly moving and renaming things from version to version, horrid database tools (and horrid database library)....the list could go on if I wasn't trying to forget I'd ever worked with it.

Mark Dain Yeah, I've run into many of those problems. Actually Xcode's git is so bad I don't trust it and always commit from the command line now. I've never encountered renaming but I have had Xcode randomly touch XML files (especially storyboard) when I open them. I think it's due to an update of Xcode. Also there's loads of xcuserdata junk you need to exclude via gitignore file
