Also did Apple take whoever was

Also, did Apple take whoever was responsible for the 2017-2019 MacBook Pros and put them in charge of XCode? Every release seems to get crappier.

I no longer have any mental model for what the assistant editor is supposed to think of as a "Counterpart".

Xcode was never good, and it keeps getting worse. This was my today:

scene: markd uses debugger commands for stepping because the buttons are too damn small

markd: n

lldb: I'll step to next line. oh, and I'm putting the keyboard focus on the editor

markd: n

Editor: "ooh! letter. Replace selection with n"

markd: undo. click in debugger. n

lldb: I'll step to next line. oh, and I'm putting the keyboard focus on the editor

markd: click in command-line area. n

lldb: I'll step to next line. oh, and I'm putting the keyboard focus on the editor

markd: click in command-line area. n

I've been bouncing back and forth between Emacs and XCode today, largely because my Emacs setup isn't tuned for Objective-C, but damn the "to indent a region, hit shift-tab, go get a cup of coffee" thing sure is enlightening. And, yeah, the "open a file, hit Cmd-F, be searching in the assistant editor", yep, that's convenient.

And I swear all of this stuff is dramatically slower than it used to be.
