Please educate me, what is good? What I am missing out on?
I'm no stranger to Web tech, including JS on the browser and on the server side. It's hell compared to native App development using the native technologies.
I mean, it's so bad that the tutorials explaining the project setup phase can be hours long to follow. Scripts running in the background just to keep you in check and let you write more readable code that is no where as good as Swift(linter, transcompilers, packers oh god >:( ).
When Xcode misbehaves, I would clean the build folder or restart it and everything is back to normal.
It has been a few years since I did something for the web but please let me know if you have a magical IDE or a script or something that lets you do work on you actual code with no janitorial work. Did JS world become considerably better in the last years? Did npm swamp dried out?

As a front-end developer, it's clear to me that you only think that because you are familiar with it, same for me with js - all you need to start developing is npx create-react-app appname or npx create-next-app appname. I toyed around with react native too, and expo is godsend. On the other hand when I tried to use swift/xcode I quickly discovered that official docs are just trash for people unfamiliar with it and community is so much smaller (I was only looking at swiftui FWIW). You have to configure things like dependencies with xcode ui while in js it's all code. Needless to say I didn't go through with it and will go react native next time without a second thought.
Considerable? I don’t know, every few days I would need to restart Xcode. No big deal, really. It’s two clicks to close the app, one to launch it again but it’s annoying nevertheless.

You literally considered it while writing your list. Therefore literally considerable.
