[Edit: Everyone read ChrisMarshallNY's comment, it's a less terse and more eloquent version of this :)]

My humble belief is that once one understands the inner workings of UIKit, Swift UI is about half of the interactivity of UIKit (read interactivity not as animations or formatting, but actual user controls and inferences from intended actions).

I had requirements to fully understand UITextView, then TextKit and NSLayout, then new ways to interact with text that I have no earthly idea how I would build my interactions in SwiftUI.

In SwiftUI, you get a lot of bang for your buck, but if you want to build something truly remarkable, you need to get your hands dirty and codify your opinions with UIKit.
