AutoLayout isn't too bad with something like SnapKit. Alternatively you can use a custom layouting implementation based on frames, like FlexLayout/PinLayout. Works well too. Storyboards? Don't use them, problem solved.

Android XML has a lot of bad stuff in it too. Like all the styling that needs to be done through obscure XML tags, selectors, layer-lists, style-inheritance in separate files and so on.

Also ConstraintLayout is basically AutoLayout, I have been using Anko Layout DSL more and more instead of XML, which then really isn't that different from iOS+SnapKit.
