I’ve been dabbling in SwiftUI in an existing UIKit app from time to time for a while now and have similar feelings. Even if you get past the lack of docs, SwiftUI is missing just enough bits and pieces to make it a pain. I can usually get things about 90% to where they’re supposed to be, and then I rewrite it in UIKit because that’s the only way to get the fine details right without convoluted hackery. Lack of backwards compatibility doesn’t help here — several times something I’ve needed has only been available for iOS 14/15+. I think it has massive potential regardless, but yes it’s going to need some time to fully bake (much as UIKit did). It’s too bad that Cocoa Bindings never found their way from AppKit into UIKit. I understand their exclusion was likely due to CPU power limitations early on, but that hasn’t been a problem for many years at this point.
