The new one, based off the one used in the Playgrounds iPad app, is far better in pretty much every way than the old one. It’s still missing features (which should be added by release) but I use it as much as I can. It still suffers from some of the same issues as the old editor, namely that its functionality breaks almost completely when SourceKit crashes, which is really annoying for stuff like syntax highlighting and auto indentation, since it seems like that stuff shouldn’t break when that happens. But it recovers a bit better now from those situations. The new build system is also really nice, though largely invisible.<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I do find it concerning that Apple is developing Swift features internally, which is rather antithetical to open source development and leads to painful transition periods like this where Apple’s version and the open source version are out of sync. It really doesn’t seem necessary for these features to be developed privately. I would hope the Swift project takes a more WebKit-like approach to these features, where all features are developed in the open source branch, with only the SPI integration private to Apple. Features like the content filters shipped last year were fully visible in the open source tree long before WWDC. It would be better for Swift to develop all of these features in the open.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Jon<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jul 4, 2017, at 9:05 PM, David Baraff via swift-users <<a href="mailto:swift-users@swift.org" class="">swift-users@swift.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=utf-8" class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class="">How is xcode9 beta going in general?
