Counterpoint: XCode is such slop that an app made by a developer with the taste to avoid it has a higher probability of being less "sloppy" than average.

I don't know if that's really practical unless you're full-on-vibe coding or you avoid all the native frameworks. You kinda need XCode for a lot of things. I personally really dislike XCode after having to use it for like a decade and having it crash six times a day, so I feel people's pain in wanting to avoid it, but I also think slopping up the app store with vibe code monstrosities is not something that should be encouraged. Bad ideas are better made inconvenient..
The 'developer' isn't even developing much of anything tho
This is generally not true
