Hasn't everybody at least tried everything significant just because? Even the most non-apple developer must have at least checked it out on a friends laptop or something just to be informed of the state of their own business.

If there are developers who are that incurious, all I can say is I don't understand them.

No, not in the slightest. I would call this one the most dangerous and unfortunate fallacies that so many intelligent people have ever accepted and been cheated by. If it were true, you'd know everything important there is to know, and be a master of philosophy, and would have many answers to some basic questions which most people have been told have no good or concrete or verifiable answers.

Hyperbole is rarely useful.

Btw, not defending Xcode. It may be powerful but it is so goddamn sluggish that it is miserable to use.
