The zest to do things in a way, “because it is Swifty”.

That doesn’t mean that it is good.  And people insist that “because it is
Swifty”, it must be the new best thing and clearly everyone else “just doesn’t
understand the new way”.

It’s pretty arrogant, but that’s what I’ve seen as well.  People need to
evaluate a new approach and based upon their experience, decide if it is a good
thing.  Honestly, our developers want to rush to SwiftUI and embrace everything
new without realizing that we still need to support users running iOS 10.

Anyway, It’s an enthusiastic jump to adopt the new without considering what
about it is wise to do.
