I tried using AppCode on our massive project at work (several million lines of code), and at the time (admittedly a few years ago), I couldn't even start working on any code until it indexed the entire project. I let it run while on a machine I wasn't using and it took several hours to complete. Xcode also takes hours to complete indexing on our project, but it runs in the background instead of blocking the UI so I could get to work immediately with a new checkout of the source.

Any comparisons after indexing is done?

As I say, it's been a few years, but if I recall, it just generally didn't feel like a Mac application. It worked alright and was basically calling the same tools under-the-hood as Xcode does. But there was nothing compelling about it that I could see when I tested it. Perhaps it's better now? I should probably give it another look.
