Agreed. It took me a while to find some idioms I like, but once I did that I like it quite a bit more than what I was doing in HTML land (note: not a webdev). It probably helps in my case that this is a solo project so I had the freedom to try a bunch of different styles until I found one I like.

I find the bad part is how user events are handled, particularly when multiple parts of the UI need to be changed. This, like autolayout, could be an issue of inexperience.
