> It is funny to me to read this because I recently joined the Xcode Cloud team to precisely work on this, thinking that I could help Apple make developer’s life easier in the near future, but according to your comment, there are people out there who will consider my team’s work a regression.
how exactly will it be easier than my current workflow of:
- Boot computer
- Press win-key + d
- type the letters "qtc"
- hit enter
- ctrl-alt-shift-<index the project I'm working on>
Not having to download 10g to edit 1 line of code on a computer where you haven't set up XCode should be a win?
Having said that, I agree, the biggest problem here is that even if it doesn't seem obvious now, once the cloud offering is there the control it offers will make it very appealing for Apple to expand its use and eventually offer features there that aren't in the real XCode. It can fast be a slippery slope to the non-cloud app being deprecated.
