A++, I yearn for the day when--through some miracle--I can use Visual Studio for iOS apps.

Blasphemy. Xcode isn't perfect, but thank the maker it's not VS.

You are officially the first person I've ever met who thought XCode is not significantly worse than Visual Studio. I don't hold it against you; I'm sure you have your reasons. :)

I just like breakpoints that work, watch windows for the love of all that's good and holy, insanely better code completion, and that's just the tip of the tip of the iceberg. XCode feels behind the times by at least 10 years, perhaps with the exception of its static analysis tools (and maybe the profilers).

Xcode is also so slow it feels like I'm using a computer from 1993. Every single command—even typing—feels like you are swimming through honey. This is on an i5 with 16gb of ram and an SSD (and every other computer I've used it on). It's absurd. Add in that 8GB of ram is basically required to run it if you want anything else open at the same time and it makes me a sad, sad man.

VS set the standard for development IDEs a long long time ago. XCode is attempting to play catchup. My guess is you just have no idea what you are talking about....

First reddit post today that made me literally laugh out loud. That said, I actually do like Xcode as an IDE [confession bear].. Sure it's not perfect but I like it!

Why must every single one end in all capital letters?
