Each version is a new type of disaster

Yeah, that's the worst part. They change things around at random.

I've sometimes wondered if Xcode is such a shitshow that they can't keep devs, so each version represents an entirely new team stirring up the crock and trying to make sense out of it.

Xcode development seems to be very driven by the need to have things to demo at WWDC each year.
As someone who used to work there, I can attest that this description applies to all of Apple's software projects under Craig Federighi.
