    Does anyone ever actually ‘want’ Xcode? Is it not just a necessary evil to be able to do iOS development?

    Agreed otherwise, M-series macs are sick as hell

      I’ve met Android devs with iPhones, so the answer is probably yes. I don’t know if Xcode is worse than Android Studio or Flutter. I honestly just hate mobile development in general because it can’t be done on the same device as the code runs. It feels like driving while wearing boxing gloves.

      It took Apple 15 years to break free from Intel, and that pushed Qualcomm to make laptop CPUs. In many aspects, it’s more impressive than the iPhone.

        I don’t think the Android devs with iPhones are yearning for Xcode.

        Having used both, Android Studio is far superior in my opinion. Most iOS devs I talk to seem to have a particular disdain for Xcode as well, so that seems to track.
