alt Hacker NewsBecause I like to get project-aware completions, or run pre-configured tools from the IDE in an actual shell, for example.
Also, when working on multiple projects, it’s much easier to have shells attached to a specific project that I can toggle with a keyboard shortcut to get process output or Claude right next to the code I’m looking at.
Can you give specific examples ? About the only thing I use the terminal for in Xcode is "git" - and even then these days I tend to use Fork.app for that.
Debugging is integrated, profiling is integrated, script-running as part of the build is integrated. Application output is integrated. What do you actually use it for ? Genuine question.
I guess the AI tools might be something - I don't know about that, I don't use them.
