Why do you prefer to use high-level tools in your…

High-level tools enable faster development of complex applications, reduce errors through abstraction from low-level details, and improve code maintainability. For example, using SwiftUI or UIKit significantly speeds up UI development compared to manual Core Graphics management at a lower level. They provide ready-made components, design patterns, and event handling, which shortens implementation time and allows focusing on business logic.

Example of using a high-level framework (SwiftUI):

//
//  ContentView.swift
//  MyCoolApp
//
//  Created by Developer on 2023-10-27.
//

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Image(systemName: "globe")
                .imageScale(.large)
                .foregroundStyle(.tint)
            Text("Hello, world!")
        }
        .padding()
    }
}

struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        ContentView()
    }
}

Example of using a low-level approach (Core Graphics for drawing):

//
//  DrawingView.swift
//  ManualDrawingApp
//
//  Created by Developer on 2023-10-27.
//

import UIKit

class DrawingView: UIView {

    override func draw(_ rect: CGRect) {
        guard let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() else { return }
        context.setFillColor(UIColor.blue.cgColor)
        let rectangle = CGRect(x: 10, y: 10, width: 100, height: 50)
        context.addRect(rectangle)
        context.fill(rectangle)
        context.setStrokeColor(UIColor.red.cgColor)
        context.setLineWidth(2)
        let circle = CGRect(x: 120, y: 10, width: 50, height: 50)
        context.addEllipse(in: circle)
        context.strokePath()
    }
}

It is clear that drawing simple elements with Core Graphics requires much more code and understanding of low-level graphics context details, whereas SwiftUI provides ready-made components and modifiers for the same tasks.

Advantages of high-level tools:

Speed of development: Using ready-made abstractions and components accelerates the process.
Maintainability: Code is more readable and easier to support thanks to clear structure and abstractions.
Error reduction: High-level tools often include built-in handling of common cases and prevent low-level issues.
Standardization: Using frameworks leads to a more consistent coding style within a team.

Despite these advantages, it is important to understand that in some specific cases, low-level API usage may be necessary for optimization or working with non-standard tasks, but for most typical tasks, high-level tools are the preferred choice.
