What makes you say it is an amazing system? In my mind, an amazing system would at the very least be cross platform.
It's 'new' and it has 'Apple' behind it. I had to google to make sure I wasn't missing something. It's 'declarative', it has 'design tools' and it works on 'apple only platforms' [0]. Are those supposed to be killer features?
There was a twitter question that really made me think - it asked what framework, language or tool of today, would give a competitive advantage, if you had it 15 years ago [1]. I couldn't come up with a single thing, and that was a depressing realization.
Is SwiftUI that tool that will be looked back on in 15 years? Is Swift that language? For me, no. It's not even bloody cross platform...

Being able to target desktop, phone, tablet, and TV devices while reusing 80%-90%* of the same code for all of them, is cross-platform enough for me. :) macOS, iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and soon AROS if the rumors have weight, comprise over a billion users. And if you're someone who likes to tinker with the latest tech in your apps, Apple has the best ecosystem because most of their users quickly upgrade to the latest OS, compared to Android etc. * Ass estimate
- rimliu 7y agoYes, we all know and love Java cross-platform UIs.
