Oh, but it absolutely is not! You are most probably experiencing Stockholm syndrome towards iOS development experience, given lack of alternatives.

At least pro-console users had some sort of argument for their setups.

You cannot comprehend a simple idea that there are much better ways to develop software, than crippling, mind-bogglingly bad Xcode and friends.




I've been developing software for three decades in a very, VERY wide variety of environments.

I still find Xcode very productive, pleasant to use, and far better than almost any alternative I have seen.

It has some annoying bugs, some annoying limitations, but none that would make it any worse than the absolute shitshows you get elsewhere.

I do know what I am talking about, here. I have done a lot of this.
