Did you ever try going all the way and using graphical layouts (Nibs/Storyboards)?


Yup. Storyboards were of course a huge improvement, but I could never get the hang of constraints.


Yeah fair enough - constraints can be really powerful, but they really do take some time and practice to wrap your head around.


I'm still looking for a full web frontend framework that uses constraints -- because yes, they are the best version of 'responsive' layouts ever.


Yeah one of the reasons I refuse to do SwiftUI is I want to do my layout in constraints. Its also how my head thinks when I think about layouts, and also probably why I never enjoyed web dev and got into it.
