That is simply not true. I have plenty of colleagues that do everything in Visual Studio and never touch the command line and they produce solution to hard problems that are absolutely useful and well written.

You can create and distribute a world-class iOS app without having to touch a command line even once. It is just not necessary. Nothing gets easier if you do.

Because iOS has actual well-designed modern tooling.

But sit in front of a device with a keyboard - one that's meant for creative use - and suddenly, the command line shines as a force multiplier.

Yet, to program for it, you don't need to use the command line. You just never need to touch it. It is possible to make a fully productive programming environment where the command line is not necessary, if you just put the effort in to do it like Apple has.

Your statement truly shows how unaware you are of actually good toolings and solutions for software development, and, frankly, you should not say a single word more about software development experience, if only not to embarrass yourself even further.

At least pro-console users had some sort of argument for their setups.

You cannot comprehend a simple idea that there are much better ways to develop software, than crippling, mind-bogglingly bad Xcode and friends.

I still find Xcode very productive, pleasant to use, and far better than almost any alternative I have seen.

It has some annoying bugs, some annoying limitations, but none that would make it any worse than the absolute shitshows you get elsewhere.

I do know what I am talking about, here. I have done a lot of this.
