Anyone try AppCode for code formatting? I've noticed many Obj-C developers shy away from using anything other than Xcode, but AppCode's code formatting is about as good as it gets.

Disclaimer: I'm in no way affiliated with the developers, I just find it to be an underrated/overlooked Obj-C IDE.

I like Appcode's formatting tools, and could configure it how I like. (I'm only picky about one or two things stylistically, and one or two things that affect code generation: what Appcode does when it generates an @property for me, for example).

I haven't tried sharing these styles across the team who uses AppCode. I'd really like to be able to share styles across IDEs: if some of the team uses XCode they could use the style I've defined. But I don't see a way to share these cross-tool either.

Even Uncrustify integration (export?) for Appcode would be nice, but it's missing. Heck, I'd even like Uncrustify in AppCode, but haven't found a plugin for it.

I quite like AppCode, not for code formatting perse. More because it has decent refactoring support, better code analysis+quick fixes, and very keyboard friendly. I still miss the storyboard support though. I do come from a Java background, using Eclipse and IntelliJ. XCode was a bit of a disappointment coming from there.

I remember trying out AppCode and trying to get the syntax configuration to be exactly how I like, but it wasn't possible. (It wasn't something major, but it was still annoying.) I do agree that AppCode (and IntelliJ) is a nice IDE, but I still stick with Xcode for iOS.

/thread Not sure why any competent iOS developer would be using Xcode (besides poor support for Storyboards which Jetbrains will hopefully sort out). Same thing with any Android developer using Eclipse when IntelliJ is infinitely better.
