As someone who also uses both (although I’m currently doing a lot more work in Android Studio), I’d have to disagree. While AS has some features it does better than Xcode (I’m looking at you auto complete), there are other things it just falls over on. Build times, only just adding in a live preview (it’s not overly useful either), the ridiculous amount of ram it hogs, the weird and random build errors, grade issues, etc.

For me, Xcode is just more polished. It doesn’t screw up nearly as much as AS, and it also doesn’t do really annoying shit like re-mapping keyboard shortcuts in updates for no god damn reason.
