With millions of people using Xcode successfully… I’d say it’s definitely enough :smiley:

I use Xcode for:

  • Creating new projects (filed an AppCode bug, they’re working on it)
  • Editing projects (it’s just easier)
  • Storyboards
  • SwiftUI

Other than that, AppCode is the hands-down winner if you do any:

  • unit testing
  • test-driven development
  • refactoring

Since I’m all about those things, it’s AppCode for me as much as possible.

Thank you a lot! I watched your videos about refactoring and marked that you use AppCode. Thank you for this videos, they are helpful.

If you are primarily working on iOS and macOS development using Swift or Objective-C, Xcode is the official and widely used IDE with robust support from Apple. On the other hand, if you work on larger projects involving multiple languages or prioritize advanced code assistance and refactoring capabilities, AppCode could be a valuable alternative.
Thanks
