I’ve started to use rob papen punch 2 a lot lately, because it’s so fast and flexible.

So for example if I found a kick to use, would it guide me to claps and snares already pitched in a way that compliments the chosen kick? Just trying to get an understanding of how that browsing AI works. I believe one of the negatives is that it doesn't separate its stock drums from the existing user sample libraries, but to me thats not a huge deal.

Also with the sequencer, it looks like it can apply really nice feel/swing to the drums, is that your experience? I'm typically making house so I just like that nice swung MPC feel. For whatever reason that just comes naturally with an old MPC and a bit of swing dialed in, but I feel like a good software drum sequencer should be able to replicate it as well.
There is a 2D map of points, each point is a sample. The samples are arranged by similarity to each other. For example, kick drums are on the bottom left. Lower pitched drums are all the way on the bottom left. Higher pitch ones go up and right toward the center. If you keep going in that direction you'll encounter toms and eventually cymbals.

I don't know how you select kit pieces but XO does not find different percussion to complement another. What it does is find similar samples of the same percussion type. In any event, what makes it fast is you can browse so many in quick succession, find one that is close enough. Then audition similar sounding ones to find the perfect one. And enough shaping controls to make it even more perfect. Then finding other kit pieces, and you can do it while auditioning a beat in context with the rest of your song. There's a demo you should try if this isn't making sense.

You can filter the stock drums out. I highly recommend people do not give XO their entire library top-level folder. If you break it up into subfolders that make sense to you, you can filter by folder, e.g. genre/style.

The sequencer is great, it has really nice groove controls. You can make them global or individual to tracks. You really should demo it, the feel has to be experienced to understand. It's so pleasurable.

You can filter samples by file name or folders, if samples have descriptive names or have been semi-sorted into folders (which is true for my samples), This means, for instance, it’s possible to find a heavy snare and kick, or distorted or whatever.

Punch2 is fantastic. The sequencer(s) take a little getting used to, but once you put it the effort, they are extremely powerful.

You will not be disappointed with Punch 2. It is on top in my 'all round' drumming design choices.
In the recent update the MIDI export options have been increased, as well as new presets, samples and sounds to an already vast library that can cover many styles, not just electronic/techno.
Punch 2 is a dream drum producer tool without a doubt!

Softube Heartbeat for me - easily tweakable by a controller, great sound, no sequencer...
I always loved https://www.kvraudio.com/product/bong-by-xoxos too but it is not supported anymore.
