![]() ![]() Everything is enabled by default and the editor looks like a, just gets in the way of writing. I have an unnecessarily long settings.json file just to get VSCode to stop bothering me with too many features. Other editors like VSCode and most other IDEs are really bad at this. These are all just tools, the important part is the code. Using git from the terminal is the most reliable anyway. There isn't a 100 buttons and flashing icons to distract you, just the code, syntax highlighting and a lot of keyboard shortcuts errors even fade out nicely when you start typing. Personally I use Xcode (not even for app development) because it's simple. Unfortunately I might not have a choice which is sad. What I am really looking for is an editor which is helpful in writing code, Xcode aint it. I dont have a need for visual programming so all the nib/xib and xml based Xcode features are fluff I dont need. Being able to order the file structure and being able to create scopes to filter the project is fantastic for very large projects.VS Code is probably be able to fill the some blanks here. Advanced code editing features and actually getting indentation right when moving lines, this drives me bananas to wait for code formatting to do something the ide should do.The endless refactoring options Xcode can only dream of.Being able to use AI tools like coPilot if you want to improve your productivity via plugins. ![]() Version control workspaces which restore tabs based on your branches is such a beautiful feature when you have to work on multiple branches from time to time.I probably will continue using VC and merge tools through IntelliJ community edition. Version Control integration is second to none.This is my personal opinion and I understand that everybody has different requirements and preferences, but I have been using IntelliJ IDEs for more than 10years I came to love the features it has. ![]()
