UMG Viewmodel is a plugin that aims to separate display (view) and data (model) logic, aka Model-View-Viewmodel (MVVM).

Named Slot Widgets is a funny way of saying that you can now create Blueprint subclasses of Blueprint UserWidgets. Previously if you made a subclass of a #UE5 Blueprint UserWidget, you would get the logic but none of the visuals. Now it shows the parent's layout and lets you customize part of it.

@benui I was very much wondering what joy the subclassed UserWidgets bring, since the customization was nil... Seems like a big improvement

@benui That feature had been on my todo list for a long time, so I was happy to finally get around to doing it.

@NickDarnell @benui really look forward to using it! At my last place we rolled our own version of it but it didn't look as complete as this 👍
