I have spent a good chunk of time messing with what is publicly available of both, and at this point, I feel pretty confident that Combine and combine-like techniques aren't going anywhere as a way of handling complex concurrent tasks.
Combine and reactive in general excel when you aren't dealing with just a value that gets delivered, you have a whole chain of events that takes place, sometimes across multiple queues, relying on several different things.
Representing that in one clear place is huge.

@vivianphung This is bad advice. Impostor syndrome is not just feeling a little like you don’t belong, it’s also often a result of being someone who has been traditionally alienated from a certain kind of work environment.
