Apple would have been avoided by developers if they weren't part of the smartphone duopoly. The tools and processes are just that bad. Now Google has decided to make theirs even worse than Apple at least when it comes to publishing in the play store.
Aren't Google just matching Apple with the signing and notarization bullshit? Except Google is free?
PL/SQL developer is the worst one I've ever used.

So as a daily user of Jetbrains software, who also finds XCode awful, you would not want XCode replaced by a Jetbrains project that isn't hacked together and reverse engineered like AppCode was? Or you just wanted to be dramatic?
What would actually happen is that all of Toolbox would be replaced by Xcode. No one wants that. I'm sure Apple's Dev Tools team reads HN, and it's baffling they just don't care that the product has such a bad reputation. Or if the team cares, some layer of adjacent management clearly doesn't.

Just wow, like trying to talk to an LLM that poluted its context window with the wrong idea then hyperfixated on it ad infinitum, Jesus Christ.

This would result in every current JetBrains user in every other language on every other platform suffer. That's a pretty big chunk of all programmers everywhere

Somehow harms Jetbrains.

I wish Apple would buy Jetbrains... or maybe even better, sizeable investment in them so they maintain autonomy and build a warchest to survive the current AI wave. Imagine an AppCode successor that was designed in full partnership with the XCode team? Tantalizing.
If Apple bought Jetbrains, they would ruin the Jetbrains products. It wouldn't go the way you're hoping.
but please don't let that stop you from being the 4th comment to repeat itself.
Is there any way to avoid Apple technologies (that isn't React native, and obviously you still need to build on a Mac) when developing software?

They probably wake up the exact same way as the people who bring their toxic attitudes to Linux, open source projects, stack overflow-type sites, IRC/Discord, etc. Being a rude apologist for NixOS isn't actually morally superior to being a rude apologist for Apple.
> Being a rude apologist for NixOS isn't actually morally superior to being a rude apologist for Apple. no, but it is cheaper and feels morally superior!

As daily user of Jetbrains’ software (and someone who agrees with TFA about xcode) I don’t want Apple anywhere near them

Ideally they’d do what Google did with Android Studio. Of course Apple would never openly admit that their product is inferior to that of any of their competitors..
Can you write Apple applications, desktop or mobile, entirely in Rust? Is there any way to avoid Apple technologies (that isn't React native, and obviously you still need to build on a Mac) when developing software?
It could be done but I wouldn't want to ever do that again.....
