I’m baffled as to how this has been so downvoted. It’s just a fact. Been using SwiftUI for two-some years and while I use it for prototyping, when I actually want to get ‘real’ things done, I go back to UIKit quick as a bolt of lightning.
I have used SwiftUI now in 5 shipping iOS applications and one internal macOS app. Two of them had codebases that extended all the way back to pre-ARC Objective-C! One app was 100% SwiftUI (with two UIKit exceptions where I had to drop down to work around a SwiftUI bug)
I get "real" things done in both UIKit and SwiftUI. It is trivial to host a SwiftUI view in UIKit, and it soon becomes the most pleasant part of the app to work on in my experience
It's simply a tool to use alongside UIKit, and it happens to be fun to use too

there are alot of things you cant do in pure xml/xib and the same is true of swiftui, in those cases you need to use an island of imperative code (uikit or custom class) and things work smoother in those cases
We are also working on SwiftUI stuff as well.
Let me know when any of the major companies actually use it seriously.
Out of curiosity, what products of note have you developed that give you the right to talk down to everyone else?
We are a bank. We make software used by millions of people a day.
We are a major company.
Lost your key, gatekeeper? :P
Plenty of serious development uses SwiftUI and storyboards.
