I was going to defend Xcode and say it's not that bad... but then I read the article and realised that I have just become so accustomed to these problems that I don't consciously realise the daily hellfire that I experience.

Even when you think you're immune to it, Stockholm syndrome is real.

A similar article I wrote on the 'Dark Side' of Apple Development, brings up many additional issues:

Im not sure if its a still issue, but there used to be a period when installing xcode through appstore was impossible as it was either reaally slow or never finished. There was even awesome review by someone making joke story about it in zombie apocalypse like setting, wish i could still find it.
