Post #2471662

RE: https://mastodon.social/@pfandrade/116527625920694726 "AppKit was ahead of its time and UIKit was a more polished version of AppKit. A serious cross-platform framework that unified the two should have happened long before SwiftUI." I still believe the ideal strategy would have been: 1. Get UIKit to full parity with AppKit. 2. Deprecate AppKit. 3. Architect SwiftUI as a declarative layer on top of UIKit, not as an alternative. Refactor UIKit as needed to make the integration super robust. Provide no-compromise bidirectional integration points.
