Not really fair to compare the dev experiences _for macOS development_ across VSCode and XCode. I wouldn't recommend using VSCode for Cocoa/UIKit/SwiftUI dev.

I'll say that working on TS/React in VSCode is head and shoulders above Swift in XCode from a DX perspective. I had to routinely restart XCode to verify that type errors were actually there, it was incredibly slow, and the Swift compiler would give up on highly polymorphic types and red line them.
