New comment by dpmitu in "Why I quit using SwiftUI"

At my company we've been slowly rewriting our UIKit app in SwiftUI. We were due for a rewrite when SwiftUI dropped. I'd say we're about 75% done.

For those "stupidly complex UIs", SwiftUI just doesn't have enough hooks for customization. And the improvements are too slow. Using SwiftUI has been bitter-sweet. It feels like you just can't use it to craft a high quality app that doesn't look like a generic iOS app.

His guided meditations are also good. I’ve listen to them hundreds of times.

My main takeaway from the article is how easy it would be to destroy your competition with a few false complaints.
