Am I the only one who uses declarative programming when it makes sense, and $other-type-of-programming when that make sense?

When creating UIs, I haven't found anything better than declarative programming. But in the end, it's all trade-offs, nothing seems to be a silver bullet, UI programming just fucking sucks in general.

This is only true for basic UI. The more complex it gets, the less I like declarative programming.

Declarative is great for simple static UI, and configs. That's pretty much it.
