Things that I love as a long time fan of AppKit:
NSButton now sits atop a SwiftUI Button.
I’m sure that’s not in all configurations and there’s probably a bunch of fallbacks they had to deal with but to me that’s a triumph. Let’s say it started with OpenStep—that was thirty years ago!
There’s a magic to something like AppKit where you can reseat it atop changing technology and it keeps on ticking. Ever onwards!
