What reviewers say about Xcode
Xcode earns strong praise for its deep, all-in-one workflow and tight Apple integration, though users note heavy installs, high resource use, and occasional sluggish updates. Makers of Remy AI, Sequoia, and Usage for Mac say it’s the primary—and often only—viable path for native apps, with SwiftUI previews, simulators, and TestFlight/Xcode Cloud streamlining build-to-ship. Veteran developers highlight robust debugging and documentation, while wishing for more stability, leaner indexing, and JetBrains-style ergonomics. Net: indispensable, improving, occasionally frustrating.
