I could not care less about the colour scheme. But oh God please could we get stable, fast, reliable syntax highlighting and code completion, reliable refactoring, non-joke continuous integration support, collaborative editing, better testing tooling?
As someone who looks at Xcode all day, I'm very happy to be getting a dark mode. But really I have my fingers crossed the syntax highlighting issues get fixed.
All I want this WWDC is an Apple sponsored Swift language server built on top of SourceKit. I cannot stand XCode, it’s a constant source of frustration.
I really hope this is delivered.<p>I recall an old beta of iOS having a much reported preview of dark mode. Several versions later it's still not on actual phones. I want a dark mode on my iPhone far more than on my laptop!
Wow this looks really good. Apple still the master of eye candy IMHO. Not gonna install the beta tomorrow though, you just know by now it's gonna be unusable at first.<p>Also I hope the editor gets a lot of improvements. I'm convinced now that one large reason why Kotlin feels so much better then Swift is simply the IDE. It's just magic compared to Xcode.<p>Doing some Objective C recently, I was disappointed to notice Xcode was much snappier and less buggy handling large ObjC codebases then Swift ones.
Dollars to donuts this will get the loudest cheers from the audience at either the Keynote or the Developer Tools State of the Union.<p>On one hand, rightly so - my eyes <i>need</i> this feature.
On the other hand, it's kind of ridiculous we had to wait until Xcode 10/macOS 10.14 to get this.
I wonder: Does this let you scale between colors or is it just light or dark? On systems that support it, I always end up deciding on a sort of light gray appearance that's still darker than the typical Mac OS look. (And on CDE, I like the sand and teal ;-))
