Some valid points, but the compiler isn't Xcode and Swift isn't able to check the expression. Imho in these cases it's the developers lack of insight into how SwiftUI works, but otoh Apple often doesn't help with obtaining the insight..

They will also silently stop supporting some piece of library you rely on, leave it broken in some way or another, and just leave you on your own.

However, it has its good sides. The profiling tools are great for example. And I would rather work on 10 difficult problems with Xcode than on 1 with Visual Studio..

Agreed, it's not that bad imo and the profiling tools are amazing.
