This file is insane: https://github.com/zzanehip/The-OldOS-Project/blob/master/Ol... I hate to say it but SwiftUI is tricky to write for very complex user interface...the one in that file is a nightmare imo.

Compared to the equivalent standard code to implement that UI?

This is great! While I really do like the flat UI design trend, I sure do miss skeuomorphism in UI design. I underestimated the nostalgia that seeing this original design would stir up in me.

Did you look at the file? Yes, comparatively using a non-declarative approach would render much simpler code. Perhaps the author is not writing SwiftUI proficiently? Having used SwiftUI myself I would argue that this is not the case.

It reminds me of why I am not a big fan of Flutter either. Not a fan of the deep nesting which both SwiftUI and Flutter needs to do for even moderately complex UIs.
