IMO you could say the same thing about C# and VS as well. Using tools that require as much work from the developer as the developer requires from the tools has gotten way out of hand. Delphi turned this sorry state of affairs into an art form.

Or, for that matter, C++. You can write C++ in Vim, but I sure wouldn't. Especially with clang-driven features in Xcode being so helpful.

I'm well aware. The folks who write Xcode have spent a significantly greater amount of time making their code completion put exactly what I want at my fingertips at exactly the right time.

The difference is significant.
