Is it just me or is SwiftUI a hot mess? Finally found some time to play around with it, and everything feels a little off... why are previews so slow, and why can't they be stopped, even if the canvas is no longer visible in Xcode?

I'm planning to upgrade an app from iOS 12 to 15, and it looks like I will only use SwiftUI sparsely throughout. I understand that it's a new approach and requires a new way of thinking.

This is what happens to aluminum when a 1/2 inch piece of plastic makes contact at 15,000 mph in space. That's some serious impact! Just imagine what a heavier object could do traveling at the same speed.
