Apple Developer Ecosystem sucks

Apple sucks.

xcode gets to be extremely cool or a shitstorm depending on the version and updates

Lately, it has not been anything more than pure shit imo. I don't like it one bit.

Still, I believe that development of(say for example) mobile applications is much smoother in IOS than Android, and I say this as a huge Android fan

I just don't understand why they don't allow people to write code for their platforms from a Linux or Windows system

My biggest issue with the ecosystem is that I have to pay yearly to have free software that I make no money from to even be on my own device.
