I wish Apple had stuck to Model-View-Controller instead of shoehorning React philosophy into their native UI framework. Personally, I find the "old-school" way of doing things far easier to follow and understand.

The existing UIViewController and how it's implemented breaks the model-view-controller pattern, so there was nothing to stick to.

React is popular for a reason. Declarative UI is a million times easier to implement and maintain. If a total newbie had to learn UIKit and SwiftUI then pick one, they'd pick SwiftUI 100% of the time.

Until the input data gets larger and the performance grinds to a halt.
