And from that line on, we knew that it's just about marketing and reality faded away.

However, I really love Things and I always bring it up whenever someone talks about usability and intuitive design. It's such a beautiful pie e of software, written in native code (compared to all the bloated, slow electron apps). It just is very nice to work with Things.

To their credit Xcode ships with all these things built in and you don’t have to make decisions about what to use.

Yes it’s not as good as some other technologies but for Things use case and sorts it’s a good match.

It seems to work fine for me.

I would love to see what Instruments, the memory debugger, sanitizers, runtime issues, and Xcode's more elaborate kinds of breakpoints can do for a headless service. I've only ever tried them for GUI apps but of course these tools are also made for the daemons that comprise macOS.

Xcodes debugger is great when it works. It’s just a GUI on top of lldb.

I also love Things. My only worry is that they'll move to a subscription-only model.
