What differentiates Xcode from other similar products?

To begin with, you don't have any other options for designing apps for Apple's platforms (Actually you have but they are not working quite well yet). Easy UI and UX is one of the biggest differences for me (Comparing it to Android Studio). The download and installation process is simple and uncomplicated.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Being able to use it without having to consult additional resources or tutorials. One of the aspects I enjoy about it is the new SPM integration, which eliminates the need for cocoapods and the onerous pod update procedure.

What do you dislike most about this product?

With a physical device, the wireless connection is poor. The most painful thing that disturbs me is constantly losing connection, and this is the most painful thing that disturbs me during the development process.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

First and foremost, if you're going to create applications for the Apple ecosystem, this tool is a must-have. Learning all of Xcode's features and capabilities will make the programming process much simpler.
