However, Texture represented a significantly different paradigm for building UI than UIKit, and prior to RPL, we had components built on both layout engines. Reusing components across these frameworks was difficult, and having to juggle two different mental models for these systems made it difficult from a developer’s perspective. As a result, we opted to deprecate and migrate off of Texture.
