I know a very good developer that uses AppCode, and swears by it. He is also a native Swift/UIKit developer.

Xcode is a bug farm. I would be filled with chagrin, if it were my project, but it's always easy to be a Monday morning quarterback.

It gets the job done.

Sounds like he's still in the apple ecosystem. What i wanted to do was use it for scripting and server stuff (swift for server and Linux) and I think AppCode was not compatible with that at the time.

I'm pretty sure that Swift is an llvm frontend, and that there are probably a number of adapters for it.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit, if it could be done with Eclipse (not my favorite IDE).

It's certainly doable command-line.
