I've found that my best workflow is having VSCode on the left where I do the actual coding and then I have Xcode on the right where I run the app. Might seem strange as the app can also be build and run from VSCode by using an extension (https://github.com/sweetpad-dev/sweetpad), but I have found it to be a bit unreliable with logs in the console - sometimes they print, sometimes they don't... The coding experience is so much nicer in VSCode imo, which is why I don't just use Xcode for it all.

I generally dislike heavy IDEs. I do think Xcode feels much more snappy compared to Jetbrains IDEs which I used at some point, but VSCode still feels much lighter.
