"powerful and comfortable"
What do you like best about Xcode?

"Would not even want another option!!!!"
What do you like best about Xcode?

Like any other Apple software, it is built different! It is super easy to use and is very convenient. It has all the essential features so it is not cluttered and you mostly use all features. The simulations are perfect as you can demo your software on the device you desire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xcode?

It is obviously only for software for Apple devices. It does not have any fancy features that set it apart and neither have the extensible library option that VS Code offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"XCode solving traditional C++ developer problems on MacOS"
What do you like best about Xcode?

Its free and packages can be published for free, which is a rare thing on Apple MacOS. definitely easy to use even for newbies and since its implemented by default on all Macs you can just access it directly wthout needing any plugins or downloads Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xcode?

Its slow sometimes and debugging is hard considering the time it takes to reach exeptions or crashes at a specific memory stack. There is no customer support available though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
