Dear XCode: Sometimes crashing and going non-responsive when you hit a breakpoint is not a reasonable trade-off for whatever that new feature is where you clutter up my editor pane with a gazillion sub editors when I hit a breakpoint.

The debugging experience has drastically gotten worse the last couple of versions. The "oh, you want to step in to this function call, I'm going to show you every single property and attribute that you also have to step in to", and then it ends up in assembly language, with no good way to progress.
That's assuming it doesn't hang after a couple of steps.
Not to mention "oh, I've totally forgotten that a view frame is a CGRect. Please cast things so stuff will work. maybe"
Still can't quicklook a Swift Data after 10 years. Quicklooking NSData has a prime number of bytes per row. Which as we know data structures and data alignment tends to stick to prime number boundaries.
