> xCode-like realtime autocomplete and documentation
XCode's autocomplete is a joke compared to Android Studio's -- a strongly typed & non-dynamic language does wonders for how efficiently & accurately an IDE can fill in your dots for you.

seconds is far too long... That you're even trying to argue that autocomplete is more powerful in XCode than AS shows you haven't used AS for more than maybe a minute. I've used both side by side for years (well, Eclipse and IntelliJ before AS), and it's honestly not even close. XCode takes longer and consistently suggests functions not available on my object, or classes I never use. XCode is great at plenty of things, but autocomplete is its #1 weakness.

And in AS I can Cmd+Click and see the source..
> debugging
debugging live running apps w/o having to launch from the IDE is awesome. And I don't think there's a single debugging feature that XCode has that AS doesn't. Seeing as Obj-C is a dynamic language, the console REPL is pretty nice, but that's a language feature more than an IDE feature.
