I had fascination for Apple products until I tried to use Xcode for some development. That was back in 2010. I never tried again or bought an Apple product since. The idea of tying users down into a walled garden and control their behaviors through not only software but also hardware that they pay for doesn't sit well with me and this is not how technology should progress.

I haven't really ever used XCode in a serious way nor do I use MacOS currently, but I have to give props to LLDB. It's commands are sometimes a bit clunky, but it is a lot easier to do stuff like setting breakpoints on C++ methods, searching across all loaded symbols, etc. than GDB on Linux. GDB is great so long as your code is C, but debugging C++ or other languages is kind of a mess.
