Turbo Pascal 7, then Borland Delphi 5 were the most productive programming environments ever. Very few bugs, wicked fast, and full proper documentation.
Nothing since comes even close.

I tried XCode but it was so complicated to do anything I gave up after a couple of weeks of reading docs.
In pascal, you could edit the form, or the source, and nothing broke. There were also far fewer lines of code required to do something.
p.s. I started (after BASIC) with Turbo Pascal, in the 80s. That was so awesome for its day.
