Someone already mentioned Unity as ahead of the curve.

I was impressed by it being a “Framework IDE.” It contains hundreds of visual tools and workflows where actual source code files are a small component which you drag and drop into widgets. Each widget is a visual representation of a class, and it’s source code is irrelevant.

Some of these tools are visual state machines, reactions to events, version control, collaboration. Most of us won’t like that change, as we’d lose a lot of control to opinionated rigid tools.

Maybe XCode and Android Studio will evolve to that for the next generation of developers.
