You say xcode is horrible, but have you tried opening a project in Android Studio after 6 months and getting it to compile again?

It was funny, when I was at Microsoft, almost no one used Visual Studio because it wasn't able to handle code on the scale of MS's code bases. (I think things may be different now). That and it didn't support unusual build scenarios (which now it does.)

I wonder if it is the same case at Apple with xcode. Do OS engineers on MacOS actually use xcode to developer MacOS?
