Pros
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.
Compared to Android Development with Android Studio, or even something like React-Native, XCode was miles ahead in terms of features, ease of use and reliability.
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.
Code inspections and auto recognition is bad. The performance for these functions is also bad.
No tab autocomplete for C. Error messages aren't always completely clear in C++ development (like kind of terribly bad).
