I use Xcode and visual studio daily. Things I like about Xcode: - the OpenGL debugger and profiler are top notch - clang is a great compiler Things I dislike: - it's incredibly unstable. I've had it crash 8 times within an hour. - I can't do a find-in-files without freezing the ide for 30 minutes. (Visual studio can handle the same code base in seconds) - a lot of ui design decisions are "different" for seemingly no reason. Most devs can jump between vs/IntelliJ/eclipse easily, but almost every Xcode design decision is just weird. Like why do compile errors show up where my file navigator is supposed to be? Why are important tabs just shown with tiny incomprehensible flat icons? It's all arbitrary, but it seems like every ide has settled on conventions that Xcode breaks to no obvious advantage |
