Commenters here who say Android Studio is fine, I suspect you haven't tried developing for iOS, I did (I develop for both for a long time) and I totally agree to the criticism.
I also have, for a while, and think the article is bull. Every time I have to use XCode I dread it, it has the worst linting, its symbolic icons make no sense to me and I keep forgetting what they mean, finding settings is a pain, and worst of all I've had it crash on me a lot, as well as refusing to parse my code at all. It's a nightmare IDE.
xcode isn't particularly great, friend.
Yeah, uh, does the syntax highlighter crash every minute in Android Studio? Does the Java compiler regularly segfault? Beating Xcode is not difficult.
I'd much rather hop to the finish line with 1 leg than roll and drag my torso across the ground.
