Comment on Apple's Xcode Ladies and Gentlemen

I still don't understand why programmers are forced to use a specific tool, to write apps for a specific ecosystem.
i.e. writing a Flutter mobile app for Android and iOS. You can do everything in VSCode for the Android part incl. the apk-build. But for iOS you're forced to use Xcode for implementing certain things like permissions, build and upload.
Nothing but headaches.

I wouldn’t mind being locked into Xcode if Apple would beef it up and make it better.

Yeah, for the 100 bucks they take each year, just to be able to publish apps on their platform, there's really no financial excuse for not making it better.
