To answer your questions, no, they do not use an editor that isn't Xcode. And I would also suspect none of them use desktop macs daily and instead use macbooks.

But surely they must tether their MacBooks to external displays and desktop Mouse’s and Keyboards!

I didn’t think they’d be using Mac minis, Studios or Pros as such.

They can’t all be using the little mini Magic Keyboard or working directly on their laptops?

Can they…. :-O

Not a developer at Apple, but I've been using Magic Keyboard's (without numpad) for about ten years now exactly because it has the same layout as every Macbook I own(ed). If they were to ever make a numpad version with the fn key at the same place I probably wouldn't switch either because I would just be trying to hit the numpad when I'm on the laptop's keyboard.

The MacBook keyboard is atrocious. I always mess up the passwords a bunch of times.
