I love Compose, creating UI is actually fun.

It’s a good time, for sure. That being said, I’ve stopped working with UI, and I don’t really miss it. I still do some side projects in Compose though, and it’s always way better than XML.

The whole ViewModel thing though I don’t love

When it clicks, it’s actually not that bad imo. I think the main problem is that Google aren’t really explicit enough about how to leverage them effectively, and as such they can be pretty hard to get right.
