“XCode is a solid IDE and probably the best choice for Swift development. I personally used it to start learning C++ (mostly because it's free on Mac and that's what I had).”

“It has very good code completion. It has very good community and proper documentation.”

Cons
“The lack of tab autocomplete makes me sad, but honestly, it's not the end of the world. It will, however, let you know if something is missing and the exact line where the error is being noticed.”

“Also, while exporting archives and app packages, it raises errors after a substantial amount of time instead of warning about it earlier on.”

“Code inspections and auto recognition is bad. The performance for these functions is also bad.”
