As a longtime iOS developer, I find the android layout system far superior for a lot of things. Before AutoLayout, things like containers that adjusted their size to fit text required reams of custom code—AutoLayout is still less intuitive and harder to reason about (though theoretically much more powerful) than Android's linear layouts, grids, etc.
My issue with masonry is that it's a paper thin abstraction over auto layout. There's some nice syntactic sugar, like chained calls to layout rules.
Ultimately I think there's room for some containers that give up flexibility in exchange for simplicity in code and mental model
Thoughts? Does anyone care?
Honestly some screenshots would go quite far. Some of us aren't that familiar with Swift.
