> These damn animations man... they're so fluid and springy and easy to use in SwiftUI, that it lures you into adding them everywhere.
The constant animations are what makes me dread and despise working with Apple software. Each time something moves for no good reason whatsoever, I die inside a little. Every few seconds.

Exactly. Props to the author for making them possible to turn off. The operating system at large still has _tons_ of them that you can't get rid of, but it's the thought that counts.
> Reacting to keyboard events is still something I do outside of SwiftUI
SwiftUI is a nice idea in principle, what with being reactive, but I found that I cannot achieve anything worthwhile without piercing down into the lower layer of AppKit. And then I asked myself why do this clownery in the first place.
Ultimately, trying to learn Apple frameworks has made me love GTK+, because it's so beautiful and elegant in comparison (disregarding that it's currently deeply broken on macOS).
