I have not used the current version but I have used a number of previous versions, and my experience is that it certainly has not always been this way. Many versions have been very reliable for me, although granted I use it mostly for developing command line tools in C&#x2F;C++. But even when doing development for iOS a couple of years ago, it was very solid. XCode has its roots in ProjectBuilder for NeXT, a long and distinguished history. Maybe they have released some bad versions. I hope they can get it together.
