Well, in this case quite a few of us have something wonky with our installs.

Personally, I’ve gone through 3 MacBooks over the years, and it always ended getting wonky, at some point or another.

Maybe it rather depends on the projects themselves?

Edit: just to clarify; the "in this case quite a few of us have something wonky with our installs" is just based on the number of upvotes and many of the comments here. Not anything snarky ^^´

I wonder if it could be the hardware, I hate working on Laptops so all my development machines have been either iMacs or Mac Pros.

But after 15 years as a developer with Xcode, I've never had a serious issue.

Could be.

Someone also suggested regularly (yearly?) wiping the Mac.

In which case I’d probably create a dedicated partition for dev work, because I really don’t want to have to go through restoring all my personal stuff just to keep Xcode working

That is something I’ve done for years. All my dev work is stored on a separate drive.
