XCode is a hog, if there was a supported way to develop applications without it, that would be a first class experience.

This is more than accurate. I wanted to start iOS development, but even opening Xcode is painful.

Been using Xcode since 2012 and I think it's great. It has it's flaws, sure, but overall I think it's a really good development experience. What do you dislike about it?

I've been using it since it was known as Project Builder and also don't have many complaints. It's not perfect, but it's not bad. I spend plenty of time in the IntelliJ-based Android Studio and haven't found it to be much of an improvement (and in fact, find that its "smarts" get in the way as often as they help).
