The zest to do things in a way, “because it is Swifty”. That doesn’t mean that it is good. And people insist that “because it is Swifty”, it must be the new best thing and clearly everyone else “just doesn’t understand the new way”. It’s pretty arrogant, but that’s what I’ve seen as well. People need to evaluate a new approach and based upon their experience, decide if it is a good thing. Honestly, our developers want to rush to SwiftUI and embrace everything new without realizing that we still need to support users running iOS 10. Anyway, It’s an enthusiastic jump to adopt the new without considering what about it is wise to do. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
