I don't know if this is irony or you've been in Apple ecosystem way too long.

I had to do a very simple macOS app for my personal consumption recently and XCode dx is nothing to write home about. The only reason I finished the project there was that I couldn't set up vs code quickly for Swift/Cocoa project. I had to endure the slow compilation time, slow reaction time of the IDE UI. You make a change you keep seeing squiggly lines for a while, it's as though the UI is booting up each time. It was a horrible experience coming from IntelliJ and VS Code daily experience.

Computer is 32Gb Apple M1 Pro. Imagine what will happen on some 8Gb i5 macbook.
