Did I Mention XCode Sucks?

OK, so tonight I’m trying to get some work done. I’ve been annoyed that command double-click doesn’t work, so I figure out code sense isn’t turned on. I turn it on… crash. OK. Restart the app, open the project… crash. Third time’s a charm tho, so I open it again… crash. This is single-handedly the buggiest dev tool I’ve ever used. There was another bug I’m reminded of where I was showing someone how to set command line arguments and I had added a blank argument. Well, every time you went to run the target program, XCode would crash. Surprise! We didn’t realize it was that until I remember we played in there and I turned off the argument (it was checked). Worked fine.

XCode, I hate you. From hell’s heart, I spit at thee!

And now I have to now spend time figuring out what the f*#$ is going on with this piece of crap now. Yay! Time-saver!

UPDATE: The problem I had was related to indexing the project. Recently I tried using indexing again and it all finally seems to be working. Yay! But I still hate it :-)

1,000% agree. I wanted to like it, I really did. But it’s almost unusable.

I work on software for Mac OS X and Windows. And I really, really wanted to like xcode but the reality is I absolutely dread working in xcode.

I HATE XCODE!!!!
