The Swift team != Apple. The breaking changes they've made provide substantial improvements to the language. And they've always been up front about this, if you were developing with 1.0 you knew they were warning that it was incomplete and subject to much change. Fortunately their migrator has made most upgrades nearly automatic. I'd much rather have breaking changes than having to constantly deal with dangling pointers and excessively verbose syntax.
