I don't know, Compose is fantastic as well. The way the runtime, foundation, and UI libraries are layered make it a breeze to extend, and the layout system is the only sane one I've used. Overall Compose is a paradigm shift that is too-often compared to React, Flutter or SwiftUI by those who haven't written code using it.

Our dev team is looking to switch as soon as we have time to learn it. I assumed it was going to be like React from the one tutorial I've done of it so far, which already excited us.

Is this the best resource for learning it well enough to come out with your opinion that its even better? https://developer.android.com/courses/pathways/compose

I'm also a little worried about missing components currently available in XML, although I know you can mix and match, but not sure how that actually is in practice.

The one time I had to mix so far, to display a CameraX preview view, it worked fine.
