I read in Xcode 15.2 release notes that @IBDesignable and @Inspectable are deprecated and will disappear in a future release.
After the abandon of WatchKit and its storyboard, replaced by SwiftUI, does it mean storyboards (and consequently UIKit) will progressively disappear, leaving developers alone with SwiftUI to design apps (IMHO, inadequate to design complex UI: for instance, I always struggle to position precisely objects for all devices sizes as we miss constraints manager in SwiftUI) ?
For sure, IBDesignable is (was) whimsical, but a very useful tool to design sophisticated UI. Replacing by #Preview does not make it.
I also understand that Xcode is a very complex piece of code and that maintaining and evolving some tools (as IBDesignable) requires effort. But isn't it what we expect from Apple ? To provide us with the best tools and keep on the promise of WYSIWYG environments, all along ?
Is it only me or do others share this view ?
