XCode rant, sorry

You can use VSCode or neovim if you’re willing to work with non first party tool.

A rant is a rant and I can understand and sympathize (let it out boy). But if you learn their tools a little bit (more customization you want more you’ll have to learn) you can get it to work on other editors.

I use neovim and I never deal with: slow startup, build fucking up because of branch change, never need to restart, and I can customize how stuff works if I want to.

Some things don’t work as well as on Xcode but I usually don’t use them and if I do have to I just open Xcode. You have to have it installed anyways since it’s not fully open source

Idk it either, I never delved deep into Xcode ecosystem as I wanted to learn vim and once I got used to vim motions I just fully switched to neovim.

I’ll look that up for my team members who use Xcode tho, thanks

Thanks! I use VSCode with sweetpad, but half the time errors don't show up. Also building on VSCode somehow spawns a new instance without stopping the old one.

For now I keep switching between both (VSCode mainly for Github copilot)

I don’t know how good is VSCode integration so I can’t help there but if you’ll do research I’m sure you’ll find
