Let me guess, you did not do any iOS development? To claim that web has better abstractions is insanity. Even before autolayout to say that was a stretch. And

Let me guess, you did not do any iOS development? To claim that web has better abstractions is insanity. Even before autolayout to say that was a stretch. And I say this because I do have that cross-experience: working with web since 1998 (1996 non-professionally) and with iOS since 2010 (professionally since 2012).
