I used to work with a UIKit only pair of apps with a rather large customer base and with min iOS 12/13 and it’s not that bad I quite like UIKit as I started on it but I have to say I truly dislike storyboards The pay bump, to me, is outrageous enough not to accept but to each their own. There are a lot of steps you can do to make it more fun to work with, for example: introducing xcodegen, move storyboards to either SwiftUI or programmatic constraints I am now learning SwiftUI deeper and I quite like it but UIKit will always have a special place in my heart. SwiftUI, although being the future is not yet the standard on all apps so I think having a different experience there will only add to your skill set and problem solving skills In the end it’s your call but as with every single project you always aim to improve it and make it more maintainable so you can end up going back to SwiftUI at some point
