I recently read DDIA for the first time, and I was surprised by how enjoyable it was after reading AI slop for a year.

Re:Why I quit using SwiftUI on Sunday August 28, 2022 @03:17PM (#32631172)
At my company we've been slowly rewriting our UIKit app in SwiftUI. We were due for a rewrite when SwiftUI dropped. I'd say we're about 75% done.

For those "stupidly complex UIs", SwiftUI just doesn't have enough hooks for customization. And the improvements are too slow. Using SwiftUI has been bitter-sweet. It feels like you just can't use it to craft a high quality app that doesn't look like a generic iOS app.

It's a good thing they removed the dislike button!

My main takeaway from the article is how easy it would be to destroy your competition with a few false complaints.
