I love writing and using SwiftUI, even though I acknowledge that it isn't perfect. I thought I'd publish some of my thoughts as a rebuttal of some of the recent anti-SwiftUI posts.

@troz Thanks for your very welcome contribution to the SwiftUI discussion.
I wholeheartedly agree with you.
Wondering how much of the complaints are due to the « New Shoes Syndrome ». 🙂
@thuro @troz I used to jump on every new piece of technology Apple unveiled, and SwiftUI was no exception. No “new shoes” syndrome here. In fact, I’m a big fan of the model, but after spending some time working on a new iOS app, I started running into a lot of limitations and ended up patching underlying UIKit components more and more often. At some point it just became too much, so I figured that with AI, it might make more sense to go UIKit-first and use SwiftUI mainly for leaf views.
