Mostly I find Xcode just fine - I don’t need all the animations but they don’t bother me, with the huge exception of one thing, the wretched tooltips in the right-hand pane, specifically the attributes inspector. When you’re setting attributes and mouse over, the control you’re trying to click on is obscured by a huge massive tooltip, which persists even after you’ve made your selection. You then have to wait 2 interminable seconds for it to fade away so you can find the next attribute box.
I’m surprise that alone hasn’t driven at least one Apple Developer postal. > On 21 May 2016, at 07:39, Alex Zavatone <z...@mac.com> wrote: > > When I have time, I am going to report UI bugs so we can get things to > display instantly and stop all this insipid sliding of everything with the > damn delay and bouncing of views when they stop scrolling.
