PSA: Turning off the "Enable Source Control" feature has always been a must for me to get decent performance out of Xcode.

Thanks for the tip, I'll need to try it out.

Performance is really abysmal with C++ development and it's the biggest reason for avoiding Xcode for me. Actions such as completion and contextual jumping just keeps lagging on a M3 Pro even if everything should be indexed. VS Code with the usual C++ plugin and CLion have no problems with the same codebase.

I like the integration with different sanitizers in Xcode, some of the visualizations are pretty neat. Instruments is quite good as well.

Interesting, I would/have never managed git from within Xcode so I'll be turning that off for sure.
