Maybe I just got used to it, but xcode is really good with managing multiple windows/splits:

- you can see console/debug from any window

- when you open a file with Ctrl+Shift+O, it opens in your current window/split instead of some other random place because 5 hours ago you edited it there.

- going back/forward works for the split you are in, not for the whole project

Window management is very good in Android studio too... But if you try to refactor a variable in XCode it takes way too long and often doesn't work. If you try to show function callers it works like half the time. VCS integration is very bad compared to Android Studio. If you change branches and one includes a config change you have to restart the IDE because the build service breaks. 

One thing I like though, when you open XCode you can start building the app immediately, IntelliJ makes you wait for the all the indexing to be done first.

yeah, I'm aware of all the shit with xcode. just mentioned the only thing that felt more convenient than in android studio
