I don't use XCode but have it "left over" from when it was the path to installing the Apple Command Line Tools - which I do use for compiling/building other software. I now seem to have both XCode and Apple Command Line Tools and don't really care to continue updating XCode every few months (huge download).

My 2 questions before deleting XCode:

  1. Will Apple Command Line Tools remain on my machine and usable for open source build/compile if I trash XCode?
  2. Will I lose some useful functionality I don't know about elsewhere (if I really never do use XCode)?

Question 2.5: Is this a safe delete?

This post was similar but unanswered.

Thanks!

Xcode is required when building MacVim from Homebrew. The Command Line Tools alone are insufficient. I reinstalled Xcode...
