I was not impressed with the introduction of SwiftData last year, and this year was also a disappointment. It seems like they are working on the wrong things and not communicating their vision for the future of SwiftData and how it will work with (or supplant) Core Data. It’s not clear whether this is a strategy and execution problem or primarily a communication problem, but it is leaving me unsettled.
