They really weren't kidding when they said its dramatically less code. It really does significantly reduce the amount of code you have to write. The one thing I think they should work on is a way to do automatic build and refresh for Previewing Composables. That would be nice but I wouldn't mad if they didn't. It's good enough as is and I like that you can preview multiple composables at once. I bet they're working on it as we speak. The Compose team has really done an incredible job. It is a huge upgrade for the Kotlin ecosystem. But the real upgrade will come when they're done with the K2 compiler I believe it is currently in alpha.
