Noob question here, I see that every single iOS developer around here is shitting on Xcode, but then I saw this today on my way to download PHPStorm. Anyone tested it? Thoughts?

Jetbrains software is really really really good

I'm pretty sure you still need to have XCode installed. But yeah, as others have said, JetBrains' software is amazing, and so AppCode should be no different. :)

OMG the pun.

Come on jetbrains, you can do better than that

You need to have Xcode too, but I love to code in AppCode. Both IDEs have their strengths and weaknesses.

@sebkas Oh okay! What kind of weaknesses does AppCode have?

@Drillan767 it's slower at getting current states of variables in debug mode. You cant edit storyboards. And it currently has rare problems with code completion.

Believe me, JetBrains softwares are great only if you have a lot lot lot of RAM. 8GB is not enough for IntelliJ to run smoothly. And forget about AppCode. I tried it every time they had a new major release and then sadly came back to Xcode. Xcode sucks, but AppCode sucks much much more. A hello world project takes forever to build index, and this indexing task just happen every half an hour. The worst IDE ever from JetBrains!
