The problem of integrating high-quality modern UI with complex live data is something that is actually complicated! Your choices here are limited:

1. Write lots of code to deal with the complicated problems

2. Use a framework that abstracts around these problems and solves some of them for you

3. Cut features from your app

This framework helps you with approach 2. If you don't want to use it, you are welcome to use approaches 1 or 3.
