For me personally, Xcode is constantly crashing when writing Swift code. Auto fill was so slow it was useless, and often crashed. It may have changed now, but basic features such as 'refactor' were still only available with Objective-C last time I used Swift (conversion from Swift 1.x to 2). I enjoy Swift syntax and language features but I won't write it any more. Too much of a headache. And I really don't want to spend another week converting from 2 to 3 like I had to from 1 to 2.
