What would you say is one of your favorite and one of the least favorite aspects of compose?

@Aurimas I'd say my favorite is the tooling. Previews, especially interactive previews, is a game changer.

My least favorite is the invisibility of recomposition. It comes with experience, but you still have to hold a mental model of how the composer works in order to discern what will trigger recomposition in non-trivial cases. Tooling is starting to help that, but that helps after writing code, not during.
