Been using SwiftUI pretty in depth for a side project. It's been 80% awesome and 20% super frustrating. I can do so much more with SO much less code, but there are definitely a lot of gaps & annoying issues (particularly around documentation and in depth customization).

Fortunately it's easy to fill in the gaps with UIKit & there are some amazing people out there doing documentation (shout out to the guy at https://swiftui-lab.com/, you've saved me so much time!)

Per usual with Apple its a fantastic product launched in a buggy, incomplete state. Still a great option if you're willing to deal with the kinks.

Hopefully 2.0 will make it an even more solid (if not de facto) choice for all iOS devs!
