I have a 2016 MacBook Pro which has gradually become completely useless for swift development in Xcode. The computer sometimes randomly reindexes while I type, which can lag Xcode so much that it drops keystrokes. And as a result if I’m not watching closely, sometimes method names will come out garbled. To reiterate, Xcode makes my $3000 computer from a few years ago so slow that I can’t type the name of a function. A few months ago I moved to a ryzen development machine running Linux mint to code rust using IntelliJ. Responsiveness and stability is night and day. It’s a shame, too - swift is a lovely language and I’d love to use it more. But life is too short to put up with Xcode. |

Some other devs on the team just got M1s. They are backend though... so I haven’t seen an M1 running Xcode yet. Very curious but I am guessing it is night and day... for half the cost or less.
