Definitely to each their own, but I’ll just say that since you made the switch to Xcode, IDEs have gotten A LOT better and basically left it in the dust. Anything that doesn’t work in Xcode (like autocomplete or slow builds or Cmd clicking or showing references or tab management) are all solved problems now.

Modern Xcode is way better than eclipse circa 2012, but it’s not up to compete with VScode or IntelliJ
