I also feel that the platform was ahead of its time for ease of app development. It's not like XCode is hard to use, especially now that we have Swift, but everything I know about Objective C seems awful and while Java is just about equivalent to C# in a lot of things, I don't remember there being a visual GUI editor in Android Studio, which I'm pretty sure Visual Studio did have. I at least know it had it for desktop targeted software.
Yeah, I transitioned from C# to Objective C around 2010 and I agree with your assessment entirely. It's just horrendous but I did get used to it. The thing I hated the most was the header files, just an absolutely useless fossil left over from its C lineage.
