Makes sense, and it is annoying, but there’s a lot of annoying stuff in Xcode. Looking at the console can get rather depressing. There’s a lot of “noise” in there, that is basically sound and fury, signifying nothing. I get tired of googling errors and warnings (I compile -wall, and take every warning seriously), only to realize they are meaningless “background noise,” due to the system trying to generate code for platforms other than the target, for instance. In those cases, Xcode usually won’t interrupt the build, just spit out an annoying warning.

Xcode is a huge, chimeric monster. I seriously doubt there’s anyone, anymore, that really knows what’s going on under the hood. It’s larger than many games, which says a lot.

That said, I regularly use it to produce fairly concise, performant applications, and I can bear the pain.

Here’s an example of me encountering an annoying warning[0], and being told “you’re holding it wrong.” I was basically chided for my style, which, I guess, is one PoV, but I feel didn’t actually answer the question, and, in my opinion, is pretty much irrelevant to the point.
