UIKit is fantastic. In a few hours I have a gorgeous and super fast UICollectionViewLayout subclass that displays 20000+ items in a table with sticky columns and row headers. I'm glad I'm not too rusty with UIKit. Bye-bye, SwiftUI Table, you're unfinished.

@groue also the modern tools like compositional layout, cell registrations, and content configurations give you some of the declarative nature of SwiftUI. It’s really quite a joy to use now.

@groue did you use SwiftUI for the cells themselves or would it kill the performance ?

@groue I also recently wrapped a collection view. The more modern APIs made it a joy to integrate it in around ~100 lines of view representable. The fact you don’t even need a view controller anymore was a nice surprise.

@groue …and being more verbose and tedious to set up is no longer a problem.
